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. There are 153 species, mostly in the genus Ormyrus);[2] the family has a worldwide distribution, although almost entirely absent from South America.
Some can be recognized by distinctive scalloped sculpturing of their metasomal tergites. Adults of many species are iridescent.[3]
