The Haltichellinae are a subfamily of the wasp family Chalcididae, characterised by having the apex of the hind tibia almost perpendicularly truncate and with two spurs, only rarely with the ventral corner forming a short spine. Three tribes are recognised within the Haltichellinae (though the analysis by Munro et al., 2011, suggested that Haltichellini may be paraphyletic with regard to Hybothoracini [Tropimeris was not included in this analysis]). Hybothoracini and Tropimeris lack the postmarginal vein in the forewing and have the marginal vein at least slightly removed from the wing margin; Hybothoracini also have the antennae inserted very low, at the level of the mouth(Bouček 1988).
