Xanthomelanodes
Xanthomelanodes is a genus of parasitoid flies in the family Tachinidae, comprising 13 described species. Like all members of the subfamily Phasiinae, the larvae are endoparasitoids of true bugs (Heteroptera), developing inside their hosts and ultimately killing them.
The tribe Gymnosomatini, to which Xanthomelanodes belongs, comprises flies specialised as parasitoids of true bugs in the order Hemiptera, particularly Heteroptera.
