Subfamily ZELEINAE 



This group has been placed in the Macrocentrinae and in the Helconinae by various workers. I 

 have chosen to follow Tobias (1967) in giving it subfamily rank. The genus Zemiotes was 

 recently taken out of synonymy with Meteorus by Mason (1973) and placed as a distinct genus 

 related to Zele. The subfamily name correctly spelled Zelinae is preoccupied in the Hemiptera. 

 The basis for the present spelling, Zeleinae, is a precedent set by Opinion 140 of the Interna- 

 tional Commission of Zoological Nomenclature, 1943. Species are solitary endoparasites of 

 lepidopterous larvae. 



Taxonomy: Tobias, 1967. Ent. Obozr. 46: 661.
