Small nearly cosmopolitan subfamily (unknown from the Neotropics), with two tribes: Lysitermini Tobias, 1968, and Pentatermini Belokobylskij, 1990. Formerly included in the Rogadinae, but does not fit well there, e.g. because of their biology (ectoparasites instead of endoparasites, and no mummification of host larva). The morphology of the reproductive organs indicates close relationship to the Rogadinae (Quicke, in litt.).
