Adeliini (wasp)
Adeliini is a tribe of braconid parasitoid wasps within the subfamily Cheloninae. Until 2016, Adeliini was classified as a separate subfamily, the Adeliinae. However, the name Adeliini for a tribe of beetles has priority, and Adeliini is a junior homonym. Description and distribution. Adeliini are small, non-cyclostome braconids with the first two to four tergites fused to form a carapace. Wing veination is relatively reduced compared to other Chelonines. Biology. Adeliini are koinobiont endoparasitoids of leaf-mining moths in the family Nepticulidae.
