Family DRYINIDAE 



The North American fauna is very poorly known and probably a large number of taxa remain 

 to be collected and described. Except in the Aphelopinae the sexes are strongly dimorphic and 

 difficult to associate except by rearing. Males appear to be extremely rare or lacking in many 

 species. Classification of the family is based entirely on characters of the females. 



These small wasps parasitize nymphs of Homoptera, principally species belonging to the Ful- 

 goridae, Cercopidae, Membracidae and Cicadellidae. The wasp larvae develop endoparasitically 

 in the host abdomen. In the later stages of development the parasite protrudes from the host ab- 

 domen as a cyst, formed from the moulted skins of the parasite in the Anteoninae, Dryininae 

 and Gonatopodinae, but from the host tissues in the Aphelopinae. Pupation takes place in a 

 cocoon spun on the host's food plant or in the soil.
