Adeliini Viereck, 1918 is a tribe of braconid parasitoid wasps within the subfamily Cheloninae. Until 2016, Adeliini was classified as a separate subfamily, the Adeliinae.[1] However, the name Adeliini Kirby, 1828 for a tribe of beetles has priority, and Adeliini Viereck, 1918 is a junior homonym.[2]
Description and distribution[edit]
Adeliini are small, non-cyclostome braconids with the first two to four tergites fused to form a carapace. Wing veination is relatively reduced compared to other Chelonines.
Biology[edit]
Adeliini are koinobiont endoparasitoids of leaf-mining moths in the family Nepticulidae.[3]
