Life history observations of S. agrili in the field and laboratory indicate it is a gregarious idiobiont ectoparasitoid and has up to four generations per year.

It is shown that deaminations during replication and other mutations contribute more than selection on amino acid sequences to strand compositions of G and C, and that the replication process has a stronger affect on A and T content than does transcription.
Comparative mitogenomics of Braconidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera) and the phylogenetic utility of mitochondrial genomes with special reference to Holometabolous insects
- Shujun Wei, M. Shi, M. Sharkey, C. van Achterberg, Xue-xin Chen
- BiologyBMC Genomics
- 11 June 2010
Comparative studies indicate that mitochondrial genomes are a useful phylogenetic tool at the ordinal level within Holometabola, at the superfamily within Hymenoptera and at the subfamily level within Braconidae, suggesting that the utility of mitochondrial genomes is likely to be a valuable tool for systematics in other groups of arthropods.

Minimalist revision and description of 403 new species in 11 subfamilies of Costa Rican braconid parasitoid wasps, including host records for 219 species

Three new genera are described: Michener (Proteropinae), Bioalfa ( Rogadinae) and Hermosomastax (Rogadinaes) and a consensus sequence of the COI barcodes possessed by each species is employed to diagnose the species, and this approach is justified in the introduction.

- BiologyAnnual Review of Entomology
- 7 January 2019
This work presents the current status of the phylogenetics of the Braconidae in a historical perspective and the understanding of the effects on higher classification and suggests combinations of genetic markers or total mitochondrial genomes allow for better founded groupings.
Revision of the Agathidinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) of Vietnam, with the description of forty-two new species and three new genera

Sixty-five species are recognised, of which twelve species are newly recorded for Vietnam: Bassus albifasciatus (Watanabe, 1934), Coccygidium angostura (Bhat & Gupta, 1977), Cremnops atricornis (Smith, 1874), stat.
