“…These insects play an important role in pest control and commercial production (Hanson & Gauld, 2006;Heraty et al, 2011). Among Hymenoptera, the parasitoid wasps of the superfamily Chrysidoidea, composed by the living families Bethylidae, Chrysididae, Dryinidae, Embolemidae, Plumariidae, Sclerogibbidae and Scolebythidae (Brothers, 2006), are associated with different groups of hosts, like Embioptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera and Phasmatodea (Azevedo & Helmer, 1999;Brothers, 2006;Hanson & Gauld, 2006;Melo et al, 2012;Guglielmino et al, 2013;Martins & Domahovski, 2017a, b;Morales-Silva et al, 2019;Martins et al, 2020). The diversity of this superfamily is estimated at approximately 16,000 species, of which about 8,000 are described (Azevedo et al, 2018;Olmi et al, 2019;Pauli et al, 2019;Chény et al, 2020).…”
