The Collyriinae contains a single genus Collyria Schiødte of the Palearctic Region. It differs from the other Ichneumonidae subfamilies by the downward-curved ovipositor, tapered to a slender apex, with the apical half of the ventral margin having row of small weak teeth, and the absence of the dorsal subapical notch. The female of Collyria coxator oviposits into the host egg and the parasitoid larva kills the fully-grown host larva in its cocoon (Salt 1931). The emergence is from the mature host larva. The terminology used in this paper follows that of Gauld & Bolton (1988).
