According to the current classification there are 905 described species in 45 genera. The larvae of most are parasitoids, especially of beetle larvae, although they also attack other hosts, including spiders. Some species parasitize a wide variety of species. Their biology varies a lot. Some parasitize eggs, others larvae, and still others are hyperparasitic (use other parasites as hosts). They are found on all continents and in all types of habitats. The purpose of this article is to carry out an inventory of the Eupelmidae Family (Insecta: Hymenoptera). To this end, a bibliographic survey of Eupelmidae was carried out in the years 1937 to 2021. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented at national and international scientific events, Doctoral Thesis and Master's Dissertation were considered. Data were also obtained from platforms such as: Academia.edu, Frontiers, Qeios, Pubmed, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, World, Wide Science, Springer, RefSeek, Microsoft Academic, Science and ERIC.
