The following is a cheat sheet that I made for the National Park Service outlining common wing types seen in parasitica and groups often confused with parasitiods. All images and much of the information is from Hymenoptera of the world: An identification guide to families. 1993. Goulet, H. and Huber, J.T., editors. Agriculture Canada, Ottawa, Ontario.. The full book is available as a free pdf through the previous link. It is made to fit an 8.5x11 piece of paper.

If you found this useful or have any comments or corrections, please shoot me an email. The notes may not make perfect sense as they were accompanied by talk I gave on Parasitica.
