Genus Copidosoma Ratzeburg, 1844 View in CoL View at ENA

Note.

The genus is widely distributed worldwide, with 204 valid species, 22 of which have been recorded from China ( Zhang and Huang 2007). Most species of the genus are parasitic on lepidopteran insects, especially endoparasitic in eggs and larvae ( Noyes 2019), which provide good prevention and control effects on agriculture and forestry pest populations.
