Abstract
The Megaspilidae Family is little known as a whole, however it is believed that the majority is parasitoid, especially of Hemiptera (Sternorrhyncha), and some hyperparasitoids. The remarkable diversity of hosts used by hyperparasitoids of the genus Dendrocerus seems to be centered on predators and parasitoids of Hemiptera of the suborder Sternorrhyncha (aphids and occasionally psyllids). Their hosts include Hymenoptera (Aphidiidae and more rarely Aphelinidae, Encyrtidae, Pteromalidae, Braconidae and Figitidae), Diptera ((pupae) Coleoptera Neuroptera and Mecoptera. They are hyperparasitoids, for example Braconidae in aphids; in addition to some being associated with ants. The objective of this work is to investigate the biology, ecology and biology of the Megaspilidae (Hymenoptera). To this end, a bibliographic survey of Megaspilidae was carried out in the years 1940 to 2021. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented at national and international scientific events. Data were also obtained from platforms such as: Frontiers, Qeios, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, Microsoft Academic, Science and Scielo.
