Abstract
A brief review of the results of the chromosomal study of the main economically important groups of parasitoids of the superfamily Chalcidoidea is presented. Methods of chromosomal analysis can be used to study the species complexes within taxonomically complicated groups, to identify adult and immature chalcids to species, to identify insects in laboratory stocks and mass-rearing cultures, to study sex ratios of immature stages, and to reveal specific sex-ratio distorters with chromosomal localization. There are reasons to believe that chromosomal analysis will be successfully used in the future for studying not only economically significant chalcids but also other practically important groups of parasitoid Hymenoptera.
