| Review (by Malcolm Storey) | Both species attack the prepupae of Cotesia glomerata but differ in their biology. Lysibia nana is adapted for rapid infection of a large number of host larvae, whereas Gelis agilis produces its eggs over a longer time period, perhaps because being wingless it takes longer to find hosts. |
