Figitidae is a family of wasps. They occur throughout much of the world.[1]
These are parasitoid wasps: the adult female wasp deposits an egg into the body of an insect larva, which the wasp larva consumes as it develops.[2] Most known figitid wasps use fly larvae as hosts.[2] Some use hymenopterans or neuropterans.[3]
The full diversity of this wasp family is not yet known. For example, the largest subfamily, Eucoilinae, has over 1000 described species so far, but this is probably just 5 to 20% of its total diversity.[3]
