Notes
Stigenberg et al. (2015) included the meteorines as a basal tribe of Euphorinae , rather than as a separate subfamily, as was the preference of many authors, for example, Shaw and Huddleston (1991). In light of their very different developmental biology (parasitoids of larval Lepidoptera and Coleoptera as opposed to parasitising adult insects) and sister-group position to the euphorines, we retain the subfamily rank for Meteorinae .
