ZooBank: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:52F3912E-9118-499A-B1C9-28561C82BE7C

TYPE GENUS: Perditomorpha Ashmead , 1899.

DIAGNOSIS: This is a heterogeneous assemblage of genera and includes the majority of South American Neopasiphaeinae . The forewing may have two, or less frequently, three submarginal cells, with the length of the second medial cell 2.1× or more its width, but lacking the unique features of the previous subtribes. Unambiguous synapomorphies have been elusive.

INCLUDED GENERA: Genera included are summarized in table 2.
