Handbook of Nearctic Chalcidoidea
Online illustrated key to the families of Nearctic chalcidoids, with some accompanying text.
From the web site:
"All text and drawings are taken from the original, priceless and out of print key:
Grissell, E. E., and M. E. Schauff. 1990. A handbook of the families of Nearctic Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera).
Entomological Society of Washington (Washington, D.C.) Handbook 1:1-85.
Addional images for the key have been added by Dr Michael Gates at the USDA-ARS Systematic Entomology Laboratory (mgates@sel.barc.usda.gov). Website created by Katja Seltmann (seltmann@scs.fsu.edu) with gracious help from the morphbank crew.

World Cynipoidea (Hymenoptera): A Key to Higher-Level Groups
Matthew L Buffington, Mattias Forshage, Johan Liljeblad, Chang-Ti Tang, Simon van Noort, World Cynipoidea (Hymenoptera): A Key to Higher-Level Groups, Insect Systematics and Diversity, Volume 4, Issue 4, July 2020, 1, https://doi.org/10.1093/isd/ixaa003
While much has been learned regarding the phylogeny and evolution of cynipoid wasps, clearly illustrated diagnostic tools and identification keys have remained stagnant. So too, where keys do exist, they are often to genus or species, and there are no user-friendly keys to groups such as tribes, subfamilies, or families. This state of affairs leaves a knowledge gap for non-specialists and slows future research on the group.

excellent resource, although the name of the site is a misnomer: actually, it's a set of several separate projects designed to cover eventually all the living organisms.
