Summary:
The species of the braconid genus Orgilus are all internal parasites of lepidopterous larvae, principally of the larvae of Microlepidoptera; some have been employed in the biological control of troublesome pest species. The number of different kinds seems to be very great. In the present paper 107 Nearctic species are treated, all except 16 of these previously undescribed. Keys to the genera considered as comprising the subfamily Orgilinae and to the species of Orgilus recognized in the paper are followed by detailed descriptions of the species.
