Azevedo, C. O., I. D. C. C. Alencar, M. S. Ramos, D. N. Barbosa, W. D. Colombo, J. M. R. Vargas, and J. Lim. (2018). Global guide of the flat wasps (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae). Zootaxa 4489 (1): 001-294. https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.4489.1.1

The only world revision of Bethylidae since Kieffer (1914). Diagnoses, taxonomic evaluation, keys, and a checklist of all extant genera and subfamilies are provided. Examining over 400,000 specimens from museums around the world, this work has contributed 153 new or revalidated combinations, 16 new genus-group synonyms, 11 species with revalidated status, and 1 synonym. The genus-group synonym Pristepyris Kieffer was revalidated as a senior synonym of Acrepyris.

This one is probably missing revisions/modifications described in Evans' 1978 work (1) but at least it's freely accessible and downloadable.
