Subfamily EXOTHECINAE 



The genera in this group were included in the Rogadinae in the previous catalog although they 

 were placed in a distinct subfamily by earlier workers. Separation from the Rogadinae appears 

 justified since the Exothecinae are apparently external parasites of lepidopterous, coleopterous, 

 and sawfly larvae, the Rogadinae being internal parasites of lepidopterous larvae. The genera 

 included here are in need of revision and the generic placement of the North American species 

 which follows should be considered only provisional until a thorough study is made of the group.
