SUMMARY
The subfamily Alysiinae is one of the most peculiar and diverse endoparasitoid subfamilies of the family Braconidae (Yu et al. 2012). Morphologically, the two tribes are mainly separated by the presence (Alysiini) or absence (Dacnusini) of the fore wing vein r-m (Yu et al. 2012; Peris-Felipo et al. 2014). Alysiini are parasitoids of a wide range of Diptera-Cyclorrapha while Dacnusini are exclusively specialized on leaf and stem miners of the families Agromyzidae, Ephydridae and Chloropidae (Belokobylskij 2005; Fischer & Beyarslan 2012; Peris-Felipo et al. 2014).
