Sepulcidae is a family of extinct hymenopteran insects. The family is known primarily from late Mesozoic fossils found in 1968 in Transbaikalia. The insects were distant relatives of modern sawflies. The first genus, ''Sepulca'' was identified by Alexandr Pavlovich Rasnitsyn. It was named by his colleague and a science-fiction author Kirill Eskov after fictional entities called ''sepulki'', found in Stanisław Lem's ''The Star Diaries'' and ''Observation on the Spot''.〔 Каракоз Роман.

(Аннотация )〕 The relation to Lem's ''sepulki'' is understandable in both Polish and Russian, but their English translation obscures their association with ancient insects as they are translated as ''Scrupts'' in English editions of Lem's novels.〔http://english.lem.pl/faq#scrupts〕 The genus included three species, as well as a number of sub-species:〔 Rasnitsyn A.P.
