See text The Braconinae are a large subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps with more than 2,000 described species.

[2] Many species, including Bracon brevicornis, have been used in biocontrol programs.

Braconines are small to medium sized wasps.

They have cyclostome mouthparts and females usually have a long ovipositor.

The hosts of most species are Lepidoptera or Coleoptera, with a few attacking Diptera or Symphyta.
