Ormyridae
The Ormyridae are a small family of parasitic wasps in the superfamily Chalcidoidea. They are either parasitoids or hyperparasitoids on gall-forming insects,[1] primarily cynipid wasps and tephritid flies. The 120 or so species (mostly in the genus Ormyrus) are cosmopolitan, except almost entirely absent from South America.
