Trisecodes
Introduction '''''Trisecodes''''' is a genus of parasitic chalcid wasps of the family Systasidae. The genus was originally placed in Eulophidae, based on a number of morphological features, but molecular evidence suggests that the genus is more closely related to ''Systasis'' and ''Semiotellus''. The type species ('''''Trisecodes agromyzae''''') is a parasitoid of a range of Agromyzid leaf-mining flies.There are two known species: *'''''Trisecodes agromyzae''''' from Belize, Costa Rica and Guadeloupe; and*'''''Trisecodes africanum''''' from Cameroon, Guinea and Uganda.
Description These are small (0.6-0.85 mm long), dark wasps. Their tarsi have only three segments. Each antenna has three short funicular segments and a clava with two segments.
