The Ormyridae are a small family of parasitic wasps in the: superfamily Chalcidoidea. They are either parasitoids/hyperparasitoids on gall-forming insects, 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.
Some can be, "recognized by," distinctive scalloped sculpturing of their metasomal tergites. Adults of many species are iridescent.
