An overview of the families of Chrysidoidea distributed in Japan is given. As a common problem for each family, it is difficult to match males and females because of their sexual dimorphism and often their rareness. Due to changes in our lifestyle and land use, the abundance of some taxa has reduced compared to the past. On the other hand, several taxa previously seldom reported, like Embolemus, have been found one after another. The knowledge of the fauna of Japan was greatly improved especially for major groups such as Bethylidae in recent years.
