All taxa above genus are plural by design and language (borrowed/created from Latin or Greek plurals). I can't help it if some biologists or taxonomists are ignorant of this. They probably think "bacteria" are singular, too. The only sense where Encrytidae (and the like) would be singular is "Encrytidae is the name of ...". In that case, leave the word "name" in place to recognize the sense. 165.225.34.56 ( talk) 21:03, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
I do not know if Hemiptera is the primary host of Encyrtidae or not, but that part of page gave me the feeling that other hosts are rare or do not even exist (maybe except in hyperparasitoids). But a quick look at some papers clearly indicate that beetles (Coleoptera) and Lepidoptera can be their hosts too.
All polyembrionic genera (Copidosoma, Copidosomopsis and Ageniaspis) parasitize the larvae of moths according to Strand and Grbic (Strand, M. R. and Grbić, M. 1997. The development and evolution of polyembryonic insects. - In: A. P. Roger és P. S. Gerald (eds.), Current Topics in Developmental Biology. Academic Press, pp. 121-159) — Preceding
