Agriotypinae is a subfamily of ichneumonid parasitoid wasps found in the Palaearctic region. This subfamily contains only one genus, Agriotypus. The known species are aquatic idiobiont ectoparasitoids of Trichoptera pupae.
There has been disagreement over the taxonomic placement of Agriotypus. It has variously been placed in Proctotrupoidea and considered a separate family of Ichneumonoidea.
