Netelia is a genus of ichneumonid wasps in the subfamily Tryphoninae. There are over 330 described species in Netelia grouped into 12 subgenera.[1][2][3]

Description and identification

Netelia generally are entirely orange to brownish yellow in color and are medium to large in size, with a fore wing measuring between 6 and 20 mm. They have large ocelli, which often touch the compound eyes and mandibles that are twisted 90°.[4] Both their antennae and legs are conspicuously long for ichneumonids.[5] In contrast to the superficially similar Ophioninae, the forewing usually has veins 2r-m and 3r-m present, the latter of which forms a small, triangular areolet, and has the Rs vein strongly bent as it approaches 3r-m. The ovipositor is also prominent, ranging from 0.3 to 0.7 times the length of the hind tibia.[4]

Identification of species is problematic as most species are similar in both morphology and coloration. The only reliable way to diagnose species is through examination of male genitalia, particularly a structure on the clasper.[5][4][6] The strong similarity between species has resulted in misidentifications as well as erroneous reports of species well outside of their natural ranges.[4]

Distribution

This genus is cosmopolitan.[1][4] The genus has a high density of species, with 81 species reported just between the United States and Canada, for example.[7][8]
