Superfamily ICHNEUMONOIDEA 241 



proposed a separate subfamily for Adelius, and a few related genera, which has affinities with 

 the Cheloninae as well as the Microgastrinae. Hosts are larvae of leaf mining microlepidoptera.

Subfamily MICROGASTRINAE 



All species of this, the largest subfamily of the Braconidae, are internal parasites of lepidop- 

 terous larvae. Some of the most important species in biological control belong to this group.
