The larvae are parasitoids of beetle larvae (mostly scarab beetles). The objective of this paper is to determine the biology, ecology, life cycle taxonomy of the Tiphiidae Family. The methodological basis of the present work consists of bibliographical research that used the following databases SciELO, Central Library of the University of Brasília and scientific research, scientific book chapters, theses databases, university dissertations, national and international scientific articles classified by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES). The main terms used were: Hymenoptera Parasitic, parasitoid, hosts, Typhiidae and microhymenoptera.
