Parasitoids of Fruit-Infesting Tephritidae

The following image-based identification system is offered to facilitate identification of these wasps. The key currently consists of 30 decision nodes and over 80 images. Navigation is straightforward, and operates like a standard dichotomous key.

To move to the next decision point click go
To return to the last decision node click up
To navigate to a particular decision node (= couplet) click on the shortened text of that couplet.
To navigate to a taxon page click on the name of a taxon.

Any time a green link is visible you may exit the key for further details about that taxon. Note that some decision nodes have opportunities to both continue on and jump to a taxon page.
