Lanugo is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae. The name refers to the Latin word lanugo, meaning soft, downy hair, due to the hair found on species within this genus.[1] This genus differs from the otherwise similar genus Compsocryptus by its "moderately short, straight ovipositor rather than a longer upcurved one, axillus vein closer to anal margin of hind wing, front size of areolet narrower."[1]
