Biology / Hosts
Members of the genus Melittobia are known primarily as parasitoids of nesting aculeate wasps, though at least some species are capable of attacking parasitoids and inquilines within these nests (Matthews et al. 2009). One species has also been recorded from puparia of Anastrepha in Mexico, completely unassociated with aculeate wasps.
