Laurella Heraty, 2002 Latina is a genus of South American chalcid wasps in the family Eucharitidae.

The wasp lays eggs on the undersides of leaves near the nests of Ponerine ants.

Within a few days the eggs hatch into planidial larvae that are mobile and can leap.

There the planidia attach to ant host larvae or prepupae where they feed.

On completing their development they emerge, leaving the remains of the ant larva.
