Dryinus Latreille, 1804

Remarks. Dryinus is the most common genus of Dryininae in the world. The females can be distinguished from those of other genera in this subfamily by a combination of the following characters: absence of tufts of setae on the flagellum; thin fifth segment of the fore tarsus, which is less than two times as broad as the enlarged claw; palpal formula 6/3; shorter enlarged claw, which is as long as, or shorter than, the fore tibia; and a shorter FI that is as long as, or shorter than, the pedicel ( Olmi, 1984, 1993; Olmi & Bechly, 2001). There are 22 extant species recorded from the Palaearctic Region and 42 extant species from the Oriental Region. Their hosts have been recorded from many taxa of the Fulgoromorpha ( Guglielmino & Olmi, 1997).
