Praeaulacidae
Extinct family of wasps
Praeaulacidae is an extinct family of Mesozoic parasitic wasps in the suborder Evanioidea . It among the earliest known families of the group and is characterised by more complete wing venation in comparison to other members of the suborder.[ 1] It has been found that Othniodellithidae is nested within Praeaulacidae via cladistic analysis.[ 2]
