Leaiopria wildi is a species of parasitoid wasp in the subfamily Diapriinae of the family, Diapriidae,[1] and was first described in 1980 by Ian D. Naumann & Lubomír Masner.[2]

This species of wasp is endemic to Australia (Victoria),[2] and is closely associated with Nasutitermes dixoni termites, from whose subterranean galleries it has been collected.[2]

It is thought that Leaiopria wildi may parasitize immature stages of the termite N. dixoni.[2]
