The Cardiochilinae are a subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps. This subfamily has been treated as a tribe of Microgastrinae in the past. Some species including Toxoneuron nigriceps have been used in biocontrol programs.{{Cite book|url=http://www.sharkeylab.org/sharkeylab/docs/posts/web/Manual%20of%20the%20New%20World%20Genera%20of%20Braconidae.pdf|title=Manual of the New World Genera of the Family Braconidae (Hymenoptera)|last1=Wharton|first1=Robert A.|last2=Marsh|first2=Paul M.|last3=Sharkey|first3=Michael J.|publisher=The International Society of Hymenopterists|year=1997|location=Washington DC|pages=69|archive-date=2023-08-03|access-date=2017-07-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230803082239/http://www.sharkeylab.org/sharkeylab/docs/posts/web/Manual%20of%20the%20New%20World%20Genera%20of%20Braconidae.pdf|url-status=dead}}
