小蜂总科是一个庞大的寄生蜂超科，全世界有数万种。它们在生物防治中的重要性是突出的，因为许多物种已被用作对抗害虫物种的成功药剂，特别是与集约农业和园艺有关的那些。此外，少数物种本身就是害虫，以种子为食，形成虫瘿，或寄生于益虫。由于它们通常很小的尺寸和物种丰富度，小蜂对专家和非专家都提出了巨大的分类学问题。在过去，文献可用于确定所有地区的小蜂，除了澳大拉西亚一直分散和很大程度上不足。虽然在北美已经有了识别小蜂科的检索表（如Grissel、EE和ME Schauff
THE CHALCIDOIDEA IS a huge superfamily of parasitic wasps numbering tens of thousands of species worldwide. Their importance in biological control is preeminent, because many species have been used as successful agents against pest species, particularly those associated with intensive agriculture and horticulture. Also, a few species are pests in their own right, feeding on seeds, forming galls, or parasitizing beneficial insects. Because of their often tiny size and species richness, chalcidoids pose huge taxonomic problems for the specialist and non-specialist alike. In the past, literature available to identify chalcidoids from all regions except the Australasian has been scattered and largely inadequate. Although keys have been available to identify chalcidoids to family level for North America (eg, Grissel, EE and ME Schauff
