Apozyx is a genus of braconid parasitic wasps with only one species, Apozyx penyai. It is the only genus in the subfamily Apozyginae. [1] This subfamily was originally proposed as a separate family by Mason in 1978. [2]
The genus Apozyx, and hence the subfamily Apozyginae, are the only braconids to possess the 2m-cu cross-vein of the forewing, the presence of which otherwise serves to distinguish ichneumonids from braconids. Apozygines have a cyclostome oral cavity. [3]
The genus has only been found in Chile.
It is suspected that Apozyx penyai has host use patterns similar to doryctines but there have been no direct observations. [1]
