Hymenoptera recorded from Lord Howe Island. * = endemic; AFD = Australian Faunal Directory (2014); AM = Australian Museum. Note: In a few cases, there may be duplications (e.g., Ceraphron sp. identified by Dodd (1924) which may be the same as one of the unidentified species) resulting in a small over-estimate of species richness totals.
