The genus    Leptopilina    has historically been a poorly understood group. However, some species of    Leptopilina    are among the best-known model organisms for studying host-parasitoid interactions. As there is no identification system for    Leptopilina    in any part of the United States, we review species that were collected throughout their range in Eastern North America and those commonly used in laboratories. We provide a key for seven species,    L.   boulardi   ,    L.   heterotoma   ,    L.   clavipes   ,    L.   victoriae   ,    L.   decemflagella    sp. n. ,    L.   maia    sp. n.  and    L.   leipsi    sp. n. , the last three of which are newly described here. This study is the first of its kind for    Leptopilina    species in North America, as our review and key were developed by examining a large number of specimens collected across broad chronological and geographic scales. This allowed us to account for the phenotypic variation within species, and helped us discover diagnostic characters. The geographic distribution and taxonomic information from this review provides a solid foundation for future research on    Leptopilina   .
