Braconinae
The Braconinae are a large subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps with more than 2,000 described species.Wharton, Robert A.; Marsh, Paul M.; Sharkey, Michael J. (1997)''Manual of the New World Genera of the Family Braconidae (Hymenoptera)''(PDF). Washington DC: The International Society of Hymenopterists.
