Serphitidae is a family of microscopic parasitic wasps. known from the Middle-Upper Cretaceous of Laurasia.

Taxonomy[]

This family was described in 1937 by the American entomologist Charles Thomas Brues to classify a fossil insect caught in an amber piece from Canada. The species was named . After that, more genera were described and included in this family, like and by the Japanese entomologist in 1975, from fossils also found in Canadian amber, and , and new species of Serphites in 1979 by the Russian entomologist and Alexandr Rasnitsyn, from Siberian amber.[2] Their closest living relatives are the Mymarommatidae. They are presumably parasitic like their close relatives, but their hosts are unknown.
