Diversity: Five species described world-wide, two recorded for the Oriental region ( India, Philippines), and none for Thailand. No specimens of Aneurobracon have been collected in Th ailand but it is likely that this rare genus occurs in the country.

Biology: There are two host records both on members of the family Gracillariidae .

Phylogenetic Information: Sister to Mesocoelus , which is confined to the neotropics.

Diagnosis: The lack of venation (Fig. 19b), long legs and long setae on the hind tibia (Fig.19a) are all unique for the Oriental agathidine fauna.
