SUPERFAMILY ARCHISARGOIDEA

This superfamily is defined to include those species that are known to have a piercing, aculeate oviscapt, or presumed to have one based on venation similar to a species that does. Removed from Archisargoidea are the following: Daohugosargus J.-F. Zhang, 2012, Orientisargus J.-F. Zhang, 2012, and Uranorhagio K.-Y. Zhang et al., 2010. These are known to have a female oviscapt that is not aculeate.
