TheEurytomidaeare a family within the superfamilyChalcidoidea.

Unlike most chalcidoids, thelarvaeof many arephytophagous(feeding in stems, seeds, orgalls), while others are more typicalparasitoids,though even then the hosts are usually found within plant tissues. Some species of eurytomids are unusual in the sense that they are parasitoids of spider eggs. Females of this group areidiobiontsthat probe through the thin silk of spider egg sacs and oviposit into individual spider eggs that are clustered within the sacs.^[1]

They are found throughout the world in virtually all habitats, and a few are considered pests.

They tend to be dull and not metallic, and heavily punctured, with very thick, collar-likepronota.
