    Automatic taxobox image Aphelinus mali.jpg image caption Aphelinus mali taxon Aphelinidae authority Carl Gustaf Thomson Thomson , 1876 diversity 7 subfamilies br c.35 genera br c.1160 species diversity link biodiversity subdivision ranks Subfamilies subdivision Aphelininae Azotinae Calesinae Coccophaginae Eretmocerinae Eriaphytinae Eriaporinae Aphelinidae is a moderate sized family of tiny parasitic wasp s, with some 1160 described species in some 35 genera. These minute insects are challenging to study as they deteriorate rapidly after death unless extreme care is taken e.g., preservation in ethanol , making identification of most museum specimens difficult. The larva e of the majority are primary parasitoid s on Hemiptera , though other hosts are attacked, and details of the life history can be variable e.g., some attack eggs, some attack pupae, and others are hyperparasite s . They are found throughout the world in virtually all habitats, and are extremely important as biological control agents. They are difficult to separate from other Chalcidoidea except by subtle features of the wing venation and other difficult characters, and it appears the family is paraphyletic , and therefore likely to be split up in the future e.g., the Azotinae and Calesinae may become separate families .

It stands at the south east foot of an extinct volcano , Rocca Monfina . History Ancient times and Middle Ages The ancient Teanum Sidicinum was the capital of the Oscan tribe of the Sidicini , which drove the Aurunci from Roccamonfina . They probably submitted to Rome in 334 BC and their troops were grouped with those of Campania in the Roman army. Thus the garrison of Regium Disambiguation needed date June 2011 , which in 280 attacked the citizens, consisted of one cohort of Sidicini and two of Campanians.

Its position gave it some military importance, and it was apparently made a colony by Claudius , not by Augustus .
