Mymarommatoidea

†Alavarommatidae †Dipterommatidae †Gallorommatidae Mymarommatidae The Mymarommatoidea are a very small superfamily of microscopic fairyfly-like parasitic wasps.

Less than half of all described species are living taxa (the others are fossils), but they are known from all parts of the world.

[1][2] Undoubtedly, many more await discovery, as they are easily overlooked and difficult to study due to their extremely small size (most have an overall length of around 0.3 mm).

[3] Their closest relatives seem to be the extinct superfamily Serphitoidea (including Serphitidae and Archaeoserphitidae), with both groups being united in the clade Bipetiolarida.

[5] There is only one confirmed host for any member of the superfamily; the species Mymaromma menehune from the Hawaiian Islands is a solitary endoparasitoid of eggs of a Lepidopsocus sp.
