Trisecodes is a genus of parasitic chalcid wasps of the family Systasidae.[2] The genus was originally placed in Eulophidae, based on a number of morphological features,[1] but molecular evidence suggests that the genus is more closely related to Systasis and Semiotellus.[3] The type species (Trisecodes agromyzae) is a parasitoid of a range of Agromyzid leaf-mining flies.
