Latreille , 1802
Females of the brackish wasp Neoneurus vesculus lay their eggs in workers of the ant Formica cunicularia .

Legimms , like the stinglings (Aculeata), belong to the subordination of the waist wasps (Apocrita) from the order of the hymenoptera (Hymenoptera). Legims include u. a. the braconids , Zehrwespen , parasitic wasps and gall wasps . In the original definition of the Legimms, the plant wasps and golden wasps were also included. The taxa now counted among the Legims were summarized for the first time under the name Parasitica . The also often used name Terebrantia (also: Terebrantes) is synonymous with a subordination of the fringed wings . However, this is also a paraphyletic group which, if the phylogenetic system is consistently applied , must be divided into several groups. This is because the Aculeata are not the sister group of the Legims as a whole, but arose from them. The actual sister group of the Aculeata is controversial in science to this day. Among the named candidates are the Evanioidea ( Hunger Wasp-like ), the Trigonalidae and the Ichneumonoidea ( Ichneumonoidea ( Ichneumonoidea ).

Most species use their ovipositor (ovipositor) to the eggs in still existing host organisms store and their host upon completion of larval kill, so they live parasitoid , as already comes with the name parasitica expressed. Occasionally, all species that have this way of life are referred to as "Ichneumonidae" because the adult animal "hatches" from the host, but in the narrower sense the parasitic wasps only refer to members of the Ichneumonidae family .

This laying stinger has not yet been converted into a defensive sting (or called poison sting) , as is the case with the wasps , for example .

The legims do not include any colonizing insects . These, such as B. ants or real wasps belong to the Aculeata .
