Figitidaeis afamilyofparasitoid wasps.The fulldiversityof this wasp family is not yet known, but about 1400 species have been described to over 130genera.^[1]For example, the largest subfamily,Eucoilinae(previously considered as a separate family, the Eucoilidae),^[2]has over 1000 described species so far, but this is probably just a fraction of the total diversity. Figitid species occur throughout most of the world.^[3]

Some Figitidae areDrosophilaparasitoids, such as the generaLeptopilina,Leptolamina,andGanaspis.

Systematics

As of 2011, there are 12 subfamilies.^[3]
