Black ichneumon Lissonota setosa on pole laying eggs in larva.


Ichneumoninae
are small to large (fore wing 2.2 21 mm long). Clypeus usually wide and flat and separated from face by weak groove, the apex widely truncate; mandible usually long and slender, with lower tooth (when present) usually much reduced; ventroposterior corner of propleuron without strongly produced lobe; sternaulus of mesopleuron usually short or absent, very rarely reaching mesocoxa; postpectal carina incomplete; propodeal carinae usually complete; fore wing with areolet pentagonal or subtriangular, almost always closed; hind wing with vein M + Cu almost always straight; metasomal segment 1 slender anteriorly, widened posteriorly, without glymma, and with spiracle near apex; tergum 2 usually with deep gastrocoeli; metasoma dorsoventrally depressed; ovipositor short, without dorsal subapical notch and with sheath rigid.
They are endoparasitoids of Lepidoptera; oviposition is into larvae (koinobionts) or pupae (idiobionts); emergence is always from the pupa. Females search on foot for hosts in shrubs and leaf litter. Many species are sexually dichromatic.
