A Checklist on the World Species of Microgastrinae

Here is a helpful resource that has been the work of our own project member Jose Fernandez-Triana and his colleagues. In his own words:

I am taking this opportunity to let you know that yesterday it was published a large checklist on the world species of Microgastrinae. It is open access and can be freely downloaded here:
https://zookeys.pensoft.net/article/39128/

Although is a technical document, it contains picture of all genera of Microgastrinae (although from dead specimens in collections) but it also have some initial sections where the group is explained and details on host biology are also briefly discussed. I thought that might be of interest to you and your team, and because the paper is free to access, feel free to pass the info to whoever might be interested.

Cheers,
Jose

I plan to refer to this myself to learn even more about these mysterious braconids. I appreciate the diligent research and years of study this list represents. Thanks so much! Noelle Congdon
