Trissolcus basalis (parasitoid) (Wollaston, 1858)
is an egg parasitoid of Pentatomidae, e.g. Nezara viridula. It is wide-spread and has been introduced into several countries as a biocontrol agent. Adult wasps emerge from the parasitized eggs after about 10 days. They are black, slight more than 1 mm long and feed on the nectar of certain flowering weeds.

Synonyms:
Microphanurus basalis
