Subfamily OPIINAE 



Most of the recent literature on the Opiinae has been published by Fischer and the arrange- 

 ment of the subfamily presented here follows that of Fischer (1973). All species are solitary en- 

 doparasites of dipterous larvae with pupation occurring in the host puparlum. Records of 

 lepidopterous and coleopterous hosts are doubtful and need to be confirmed.
