See text The Scolebythidae are a small family of aculeate wasps in the superfamily Chrysidoidea.

These chrysidoid wasps are found in Africa, Australia, the Neotropics, north China, Thailand and Fiji.

[1] Scolebythidae wasps are gregarious ectoparasitoids of wood-boring beetle larvae.

Females dig tunnels through the frass of wood-boring beetles using their mandibles.

The female wasp feeds on the hemolymph after biting the integument.
