The superfamily Platygastroidea (Hymenoptera) is a widespread group of parasitoid wasps, most of which are egg or egg-larval parasitoids of other arthropods. Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) is a well-studied member of this group, known as an effective biological control agent of the southern green stink bug (Nezara viridula) and the subject of research on semiochemical mediation of host-finding and host-acceptance behavior. The genomic sequence of T. basalis is presented, based on 454 Titanium sequencing of a strain from Italy. The characteristics of the genome and comparisons of selected gene families with other Hymenoptera, and a preliminary phylogenomic analysis of relationships within Hymenoptera are presented.
