Overview |
Pediobius is a large genus containing almost 200 species. It is cosmopolitan in distribution, although it is very well represented in the Old World tropics region (Noyes, 2002; 2003). Species have an extremely wide host range, and there are only a very few species which are associated with agromyzid leafminers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Pediobius 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). |
