Abstract:
The Family Ibaliidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera) is the only endoparasitoid of Siricidae larvae found in forested areas in Europe, Asia and North America. The Ibaliidae are distributed in the following countries: France, England, Germany, Austria, Russia, and introduced in New Zealand, Tasmania, mainland Australia, Uruguay and Brazil. The hosts are: Sirex noctilio Fabricius, 1793, (Hymenoptera: Siricidae) and Urocerus gigas (Linnaeus, 1758) (Hymenoptera: Siricidae). The objective of this work is to report the potential of Family Ibaliidae as insect regulators. The objective of this paper is to report the potential of the Ibaliidae as insect regulators (Insecta: Hymenoptera). The bibliographic verification of Figitidae was carried out from 1970 to 2022. Manuscripts published in scientific journals and digital platforms on the subject were examined.
