Binodoxys communis

The genus Binodoxys is included in the subfamily Aphidiinae which are noted parasitoids of aphids.

The adults of Binodoxys communis are approximately 1.2 mm in length.

This small braconid wasp has a brown head, antennae, legs, and thorax.

[3] Binodoxys communis was vetted and released in the United States again in 2007 to control the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura.

[4] Establishment of B. communis throughout the United States has been questionable, likely due to reduced aphid population because of fungal pathogens, competition with other species of parasitoid, and prophylactic usage of pesticides.
