The Figitidae are a family of tiny wasps with a worldwide distribution. Currently, about 1400 species in 126 genera are described, although many taxa undoubtedly await discovery. In contrast to most cynipoids, which are gall-inducing phytophages, these insects are parasitoids;, the larvae feed internally on the larvae of other insects. Flies are the commonest hosts, but Neuroptera and other Hymenoptera are also targeted by various species.
