Roproniidae is a family of parasitic wasps in the superfamily Proctotrupoidea, of which only two genera are still extant, the others being fossils.[1][2][3][4] Species are known from Eurasia and North America. At least some living species are known to parasitise the larvae of tenthredinid sawflies.[5]
