Overview |
Hemiptarsenus is a small genus (about 25 species) which is cosmopolitan in distribution (Noyes, 2002; 2003). Species are parasitoids of leafminers, mainly Diptera and Lepidoptera, but more rarely Coleoptera and Hymenoptera. Like other eulophines, Hemiptarsenus species are external parasitoids. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Identification |
Hemiptarsenus is included in recent generic keys to eulophids for Australasia (Boucek, 1988) and North America (Schauff et al, 1997), and it is included in a web-based key to all Eulophidae genera which attack leafmining Agromyzidae (Reina & La Salle, 2003). Keys to species are available for China (Zhu et al., 2000a). |
