The Acampsohelconinae are a subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps. Extant members of this subfamily were previously included in the Helconinae, Blacinae, or Sigalphinae.[1][2] The four genera included are †Acampsohelcon, Afrocampsis, Canalicephalus, and Urosigalphus.[1]
Description and distribution
Acampsohelconinae are non-cyclostome braconids with a carapace covering the metasoma. The outer hind tarsal claws are modified and much larger than the midtarsal claws.[1]
Canalicephalus has an Indo-Australian distribution, Afrocampsis has an Afrotropical distribution, and Urosigalphus is found mostly in the New World with one species found in Japan.[1][3]
Biology
Hosts and habits of most Acampsohelconinae are unknown, but members of Urosigalphus are parasitoids of seed feeding beetle grubs in the Bruchidae and Curculionidae.[2]
