Latina is a genus of South American chalcid wasps in the family Eucharitidae. There are four known species of Latina with three known in Argentina and one from Venezuela.
Originally the genus was named Laurella in 2002, but it turned out that the name had already been assigned to a genus of bee flies 30 years prior, and so the name Latina was adopted as a replacement, in honor of Latin America where the genus occurs.[1]
