Subfamily Orthocentrinae Foerster, 1869

Orthocentrinae is a world-wide subfamily that includes small and moderate-sized ichneumonids. They are parasitoids of primitive Diptera, 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: S. macrommatu Kasparyan & Humala, 1995 and S. spinatorius Kasparyan & Humala, 1995 . One species, Plectiscidea vetusta Kasparyan & Humala, 1995, was described in the Recent genus Plectiscidea Viereck, 1914 . One specimen on Orthocentrinae with unclear taxonomic position was found in the KAM collection.
