The Chalcidoidea bush of life: evolutionary history of a massive radiation of minute wasps
Abstract Chalcidoidea are mostly parasitoid wasps that include as many as 500 000 estimated species. Capturing phylogenetic signal from such a massive radiation can be daunting. Chalcidoidea is an excellent example of a hyperdiverse group that has remained recalcitrant to phylogenetic resolution.

Ultrastructural characteristics of the spermatozoa of Scelionidae (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea) with phylogenetic considerations [PDF]
The Scelionidae sperm are distinguished from those of all hymenopterans already studied at least by the presence of a single mitochondrial derivative and the absence of a centriolar adjunct. The absence of an acrosome, inTelenomus podisi, is also unique.

Convergence in the ovipositor system of platygastroid wasps (Hymenoptera)
It is widely accepted that there are two ovipositor system types in Platygastroidea. The Scelio-type ovipositor system features telescoping conjunctiva between metasomal tergites 6 and 7 and operates via internal changes in hydrostatic pressure alone ...
