Description
Summary:  This book contains general information concerning antennae of encyrtids, a key to 62 genera of Encyrtidae of the world fauna with reduced number (less than 6) of funicle segments, a synopsis of 64 such genera with indication of their type species, synonyms, relevant literature, characteristics of antennae, a list of 393 species of the world fauna for most of the genera (with data on their geographical distribution, hosts and the use in classical biological control of insect pests) and notes on systematic position of these genera; a host -parasitoid index ; discussion of the data from the point of view of the theory of oligomerization of homologous organs (DogieI, 1954), and the cited literature (241 references). The genera with reduced number of funicular segments of antennae belong to different subfamilies, tribes and subtribes of the family Encyrtidae, thus the processes of oligomerization have been developed independently from the systematic position of the genera.
