“…With more than 90 species in seven of the eight subfamilies (no fossil Mesitiinae has been described yet), the fossil record of Bethylidae spans nearly 130 million years from the Lower Cretaceous to the Holocene (see Martynova et al, 2019; and the posterior discoveries of: Engel, 2019;Falières and Nel, 2019a, 2019b, 2019cColombo et al, 2020Colombo et al, , 2021aColombo et al, , 2021bJouault et al, 2020Colombo and Azevedo, 2021;Jouault and Brazidec, 2021;Tribull et al, 2021). Despite this relatively high richness compared to other chrysidoid lineages (e.g., Chrysididae), lots of new species are likely to be described from Cretaceous or Cenozoic deposits, particularly from the recently discovered Miocene amber of Ethiopia and China (Bouju and Perrichot, 2020;Wang et al, 2021).…”
