Epitranus
Epitranus is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Chalcididae. This genus is the sole representative of the subfamily Epitraninae. Epitranus species are primarily distributed across Africa and Oceania. The genus has also been recorded in the Nearctic and Indomalayan regions, with Epitranus clavatus introduced there.
The first species of Epitranus to be transcribed was Epitranus clavatus, in 1804. A new species of Epitranus, Epitranus longicaudatus, was discovered in 2024.
