Subfamily
Banchinae Wesmael, 1845
About 64 genera and 1,760 species are known in the world fauna (
Broad
et al
., 2018
); all banchines are koinobiont endoparasites of
Lepidoptera
. The earliest banchines are known from the Green River Formation, from which the species
Glypta transversalis
Scudder, 1890
was described. The status of this species is questionable (
Spasojevic
et al
., 2018a
). Until now, only one other fossil species,
Lissonota perkovskyi
Khalaim, 2011
has been described from the
Rovno
amber. One specimen on
Banchinae
with unclear taxonomic position was found in the KAM collection.
