Figitidae is a familyofparasitoid 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]
Some Figitidae are Drosophila parasitoids, such as the genera Leptopilina, Leptolamina, and Ganaspis.
As of 2011, there are 12 subfamilies.[3]
