Moved from Bethylidae.
Sam Droege passed along this comment from Matt Buffington:

Moved from "Parasitica" (parasitic Apocrita).
Never reared one of these before... I have the specimen, if anyone would like to examine it.

Hosts include the larvae and pupae of both Coleoptera and Lepidoptera (usually in hidden situations).
