Ceratosolen Bakeri
''Ceratosolen'' is an Old World wasp genus in the family Agaonidae (fig wasps). They are pollinators of the monoecious fig subsections ''Sycomorus'' and ''Sycocarpus'', and the section ''Neomorphe'', all belonging to the subgenus ''Sycomorus''. The genus is native to the Palearctic, Afrotropical, Indomalayan and Australasian realms. Biology Adults enter through the fig ostiole, a narrow, bract-lined passage, then pollinate and attempt to oviposit on the flowers. Flower ovules that receive an egg become galled and the larvae consume the gall tissue. Pollinated flowers missed by the wasps produce one seed each. The adult offspring emerge from the gall and mate in the fig, before the winged female wasps disperse, carrying the flower pollen with them. Associations Several non-pollinating wasp species of the Chalcidoidea exploit the mutualism. ''Sycophaga sycomori'' oviposits inside the short-style flowers, thereby stimulating the growth of endosperm tissue and the enlargement and ri ...

''Sycoscapter'' is a genus of non-pollinating fig wasp which is native to the Afrotropical, Indomalayan and Australasian realm The Australasian realm is one of eight biogeographic realms that is coincident with, but not (by some definitions) the same as, the geographical region of Australasia.
