Brief Summary
provided by Catalog of Hymenoptera in America North of Mexico
The relationships of this family have not been satisfactorily established. More commonly, although with some reservations, the group has been treated as a family of the Proctotrupoidea. Until its affinities are better understood it seems best to follow Handlirsch (1933) and consider it as representing an independent superfamily.
