Ceidae is a small family of chalcid wasps, previously classified as subfamily Ceinae, in the polyphyletic family Pteromalidae.[1] These wasps are parasitoids of other small insects. Hosts are known only for Cea pulicaris (small Agromyzid flies) and Spalangiopelta alata (small Drosophilid flies).[2][3]
