The 608 types of Encyrtidae (Chalcidoidea) housed at the Museo de La Plata (Departamento Cientifico de Entomologia were examined and listed. These types belong to 100 species and 3 subspecies of Encyrtinae. They were described by the following authors: De Santis (71), Annecke (6), Noyes (5), Blanchard (4), Erdoes (3), Annecke & Mynhardt (3), Bennet (1), Brethes (1), De Santis & Fernandes (1), De Santis & Vidal (1), Compere (1), Fidalgo (1), Gahan (1), Ghesquiere (1), Hoffer (1), Kerrich (1) and Mercet (1). For each taxon com plete information is given about the original publication, collection data, and its current state of preservation.
