Description

Subfamily Banchinae Wesmael, 1845

About 64 genera and 1,760 species are known in the world fauna (Broad et al., 2018); all banchines are koinobiont endoparasites of Lepidoptera. The earliest banchines are known from the Green River Formation, from which the species Glypta transversalis Scudder, 1890 was described. The status of this species is questionable (Spasojevic et al., 2018a). Until now, only one other fossil species, Lissonota perkovskyi Khalaim, 2011 has been described from the Rovno amber. One specimen on Banchinae with unclear taxonomic position was found in the KAM collection.
