Eurytomidae
The Eurytomidae are a family within the superfamily Chalcidoidea.
The larvae of many eurytomids are endophytic, living inside plant tissues (stems, seeds, or galls), either as phytophagous, parasitoids, or a combination of both.
They are found throughout the world in virtually all habitats, a few species are considered pests while others are used as biocontrol agents.
They tend to be dull and not metallic, and heavily punctured, with very thick, collar-like pronota.
Recent phylogenomic work have confirmed the monophyly of the four subfamilies, but many large genera within the speciose Eurytominae remains para- or polyphyletic, such as Eurytoma, Aximopsis, and Bruchophagus.
As of 2025[update], Eurytomid genera include:
Buresiinae Lotfalizadeh et al., 2007
Eurytominae Walker, 1832
