Introduction
The superfamily Ceraphronoidea comprises three small families of parasitoid wasps: Ceraphronidae, Megaspilidae, and Stigmaphronidae. The latter family is extinct.
Hosts of Ceraphronidae include species of Diptera, Hymenoptera, Hemiptera, Neuroptera, and Thysanoptera. Megaspilidae are generally ectoparasitoids attacking puparia and cocoons, mostly of Diptera, but also of Hymenoptera (as hyperparasitoids), Neuroptera, Coleoptera and Mecoptera.
