Subfamily Orthocentrinae Foerster, 1869

Orthocentrinae is a world-wide subfamily that includes small and moderate-sized ichneumonids. They are parasitoids of primitive Diptera View in CoL , mainly of the superfamily Sciaroidea . There are 29 extant genera and over 500 species ( Humala, 2019). Fossil Orthocentrinae are found in Green River ( Cockerell, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1941), Bembridge marls ( Khalaim, 2014), Florissant ( Brues, 1906, 1910) and other Cenozoic deposits.

In Baltic amber, two species are known from the fossil genus Scutellator Kasparyan & Humala, 1995 View in CoL : S. macrommatu Kasparyan & Humala, 1995 and S. spinatorius Kasparyan & Humala, 1995 View in CoL . One species, Plectiscidea vetusta Kasparyan & Humala, 1995 View in CoL , was described in the Recent genus Plectiscidea Viereck, 1914 View in CoL . One specimen on Orthocentrinae with unclear taxonomic position was found in the KAM collection.
