Ablerus is the only genus in the family Azotidae (in Superfamily Chalcidoidea). The genus was created by the American entomologist Leland Ossian Howard in 1894 for the species named in that year by William Harris Ashmead as Centrodora clisiocampae. The genus Azotus was synonymized with Ablerus by Alexandre Arsène Girault in 1913 and Hyatt synonymized Myocnemella with Ablerus in 1994, leaving Ablerus as the sole genus within the subfamily Azotinae (in family Aphelinidae). Azotinae was elevated in rank in 2013 to become the monotypic family Azotidae.[2]
These tiny wasps are normally hyperparasitoids and are associated with the Aleyrodidae and Coccoidea as well as the eggs of a variety of other insects. Overall there are over 90 species of Ablerus.[3][4]
