Ceraphronoidea

The Ceraphronidae, commonly known as ceraphronids or ceraphronid wasps, are a small hymenopteran family with 14 genera and some 360 known species, though a great many species are still undescribed. It is a poorly known group as a whole, though most are believed to be parasitoids (especially of flies), and a few hyperparasitoids. Many are found in the soil, and of these, a number are wingless.

The Megaspilidae are a small hymenopteran family with 13 genera in two subfamilies, and some 450 known species, with a great many species still undescribed. It is a poorly known group as a whole, though most are believed to be parasitoids (especially of sternorrhynchan Hemiptera), and a few hyperparasitoids. Many are found in the soil, and of these, a number are wingless.

The Ceraphronoidea are a small hymenopteran superfamily that includes only two families, and a total of some 800 species, though a great many species are still undescribed. It is a poorly known group as a whole, and most are believed to be parasitoid or hyperparasitoids.

Dendrocerus is a large genus of ceraphronoid wasps in the family Megaspilidae. There are more than 100 described species in Dendrocerus.

Aphanogmus is a genus of wasps in the family Ceraphronidae that was erected by Carl Gustaf Thomson in 1858. Belgian entomologist Paul Dessart worked on the genus in the 1970's. They are primarily parasitoids of Ichneumonoidea and Cecidomyiidae, although one is a known parasite of Ochrotrichia moselyi, a caddisfly.

Conostigmus is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the superfamily Ceraphronoidea. It is the second-largest genus within the family Megaspilidae (Johnson & Musetti 2004). The genus has a worldwide distribution with over 170 extant species.

Megaspilus is a genus of wasp in the family Megaspilidae.

Trichosteresis is a genus of Megaspilid wasps in the family Megaspilidae. There are at least three described species in Trichosteresis.

Aptenoperissus is a genus of extinct wasp with eight described species, placed into the monotypic family Aptenoperissidae. The type species Aptenoperissus burmanicus resembles a mix between a grasshopper, an ant, and a wasp. It was described by a group of researchers from Oregon State University in a paper released online in October 2016. The piece of 100 million year old Burmese amber that it was preserved in was found in the Hukawng Valley of Myanmar in Southern Asia. A new family, Aptenoperissidae, was described to accommodate this insect. Species of Aptenoperissus were wingless, with a str
