Diagnosis
Body length between 5.0–20.0 mm; female antenna 14-segmented, male 13-segmented, very rarely 14-segmented; eye relatively long, extending almost to mandible; mandibles short and not broadly overlapping when closed; maxillary palp 6-segmented, labial palp 4-segmented; propleuron neck-like, more or less as long as mesoscutum in front of tegulae; propodeum with or without longitudinal carina; fore wing with discal cell small or absent; trochantellus of hind leg distinctly differentiated, hind tibia (or metatibia) clavate; metasoma inserted very high on propodeum; ovipositor varies from not exposed (in Pseudofoenus) to more than twice as long as the body (Jennings and Austin 2002[1]; Macedo 2009[2]; 2011[3]).
Gasteruptiidae includes two extant subfamilies, Hyptiogastrinae and Gasteruptiinae. Gasteruptiinae is distinguished from Hyptiogastrinae mainly by mandible short, prefemur present, female subgenital sternite notched or slit (Jennings and Austin 2002[1]).
In China only the genus Gasteruption belonging to the subfamily Gasteruptiinae occurs.
