Trisecodes is a genus of parasitic chalcid wasps of the family Systasidae. The genus was originally placed in Eulophidae, based on a number of morphological features, but molecular evidence suggests that the genus is more closely related to Systasis and Semiotellus. The type species (Trisecodes agromyzae) is a parasitoid of a range of Agromyzid leaf-mining flies.
There are two known species:
- Trisecodes agromyzae from Belize, Costa Rica and Guadeloupe; and
- Trisecodes africanum from Cameroon, Guinea and Uganda.
