Checklist of British and Irish Hymenoptera - Braconidae Author Broad, Gavin R. Author Shaw, Mark R. Author Godfray, H.

(2015) included the meteorines as a basal tribe of Euphorinae , rather than as a separate subfamily, as was the preference of many authors, for example, Shaw and Huddleston (1991) . In light of their very different developmental biology (parasitoids of larval Lepidoptera and Coleoptera as opposed to parasitising adult insects) and sister-group position to the euphorines, we retain the subfamily rank for Meteorinae .
