Parasclerodertna Kieffer, 1904. Mus. Civ. Stor. Nat. Genova, Ann. 41: 376. 

 Type-species: Parasclerodemia fulviceps Kieffer. Orig. desig. 



No host information is available for the single North American species. Two Old World spe- 

 cies have been recorded as attacking the larvae of bostrichid and clerid beetles. The normal 

 hosts apparently are larvae occurring under bark or in borings in wood.

Associated data with several species suggest that these minute wasps are probably parasitic 

 on larvae of both myrmecophilous and wood-boring beetles. The wingless females are apparently 

 carried by the males during mating flights.
