Figitidae is a family of parasitoid wasps. The full diversity of this wasp family is not yet known, but about 1400 species have been described to over 130 genera.^[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]
