Astata is a cosmopolitan genus of solitary predatory wasps in the family Astatidae.[3] They are known to prey on adults and nymphs of Pentatomidae.[4] Astata is the largest genus in this subfamily, and is identified by features of its wing venation. The males of this genus and the related genus Dryudella have very large compound eyes that broadly meet at the top of the head.[5]
