Parasitoid wasps are a large group of hymenopteran superfamilies, with all but the wood wasps (Orussoidea) being in the wasp-waisted Apocrita. As parasitoids, they lay their eggs on or in the bodies of other arthropods, sooner or later causing the death of these hosts. Different species specialise in hosts from different insect orders, most often Lepidoptera, though some select beetles, flies, or bugs; the spider wasps (Pompilidae) exclusively attack spiders.
Spalangia est un genre d'hyménoptères parasitoïdes de la famille des Pteromalidae dont les espèces parasitent des pupes de diptères. Systématique Le genre Spalangia a été créé en 1805 par l'entomologiste français Pierre-André Latreille (1762-1833).
