Spalangiidae
Family of wasps / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spalangiidae is a family of chalcid wasps that are parasitoids of flies. The two subfamilies (Spalangiinae and Erotolepsiinae) were moved from the family Pteromalidae to create this family in 2022.[1] They are now known to be more closely related to the planidial clade (Eucharitidae + Perilampidae + Chrysolampidae + Eutrichosomatidae) of chalcid wasps than to the core Pteromalidae.[2]
