With over 22,500 described and up to 500,000 estimated species, the jewel wasps (Chalcidoidea: Hymenoptera) are among the most species-rich insect lineages. Their evolutionary success is tightly linked to their parasitoid biology, having evolved to utilize a wide array of different arthropod hosts. Additionally, secondary phytophagy evolved several times within this superfamily. Although new approaches are employed in integrative taxonomic research, progress to decipher the megadiversity of this taxon, including their evolution, is still limited. With this work, the diversity of the superfamily is studied at two evolutionary key points in time. The evolutionary origin of Chalcidoidea is investigated in the Cretaceous and the resulting diver...
