Abstract: 
The objective of this study was to conduct a bibliographic summary of the parasitoids of the order strepsipterans. The mini review consists of a literature search on strepsipterans (Order: Strepsiptera). The research was conducted in studies related to the quantitative aspects of the Family, Genus and Species (taxonomic groups) and in conceptual aspects such as: neoteny, cryptic species, endoparasitic larva and parasitism. A literature search was conducted containing articles published from 1978 to 2021. The mini review was conducted in Goiânia, Goiás, from August to September 2021, through the Online Scientific Library (Scielo) and internet.
