Boucekiidae is a family of chaclid wasps containing 2 genera, the South American genus Boucekius and the Australian genus Chalcidiscelis ^[1] with each genus only containing one species each.^[2] The biology of the family is unknown, however due to their long ovipositors it is theorized they have a concealed host.^[3]

It was originally classified as the tribe Boucekiini within the family Cleonyminae before being elevated to the family status.^[4] The genus, tribe, and later family were named in honor of Zdeněk Bouček in recognition for his work in chalcid systematics.^[3]
