Maaminga is a genus of parasitic wasps containing two species and constituting the family Maamingidae. Discovered, and so far only known from New Zealand, the first two named species are Maaminga marrisi and M. rangi. The genus (and family) name derives from the Maori word "maminga", simply translated as "trickster" as the species evaded discovery for so long.
