Epichrysomallidae
Epichrysomallidae is a family of gall-forming wasps associated with fig trees (genus ''Ficus'') - they make galls in figs, or on leaves or twigs. Once considered a subfamily of Pteromalidae (Epichrysomallinae), this group of genera has been elevated to family rank; they are now known to be more closely related to other gall-forming chalcid wasps than to pteromalids. Description Antenna with 10–12 flagellomeres, including a small fourth clavomere. The labrum is flexible, and hidden behind the clypeus. Mandibles have three teeth. Notauli complete. In most genera, all legs have five tarsomeres, except for ''Odontofroggatia'' and ''Josephiella'', which have four-segmented tarsi. The stigmal vein of the fore wing arises at a right angle and the postmarginal vein is shorter than the stigmal vein. Genera '' Acophila'', '' Asycobia'', '' Camarothorax'', '' Epichrysomalla'', '' Eufroggattisca'', '' Herodotia'', '' Josephiella'', '' Lachaisea'', '' Leeuweniella'', '' Meselatus'', '' ...

Chalcid Wasp
Chalcid wasps (, , for their metallic colour) are insects within the superfamily Chalcidoidea, part of the order Hymenoptera. The superfamily contains some 22,500 known species, and an estimated total diversity of more than 500,000 species, meaning the vast majority have yet to be discovered and described. The name "chalcid" is often confused with the name "chalcidid", though the latter refers strictly to one constituent family, the Chalcididae, rather than the superfamily as a whole; accordingly, most recent publications (e.g.,) use the name "chalcidoid" when referring to members of the superfamily. Most chalcid wasps are parasitoids of other insects, though other life styles are known, with the herbivorous fig wasps acting as pollinators. Various species are used as biological pest control agents or in scientific research. Description Chalcidoids are generally small wasps, averaging 1.5 mm in length and usually being less than 3 mm. The body is often metallic in colour. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sycomacophila
''Sycomacophila'' is an Afrotropical genus of gall wasps that live on the monoecious fig subgenus In biology, a subgenus (plural: subgenera) is a taxonomic rank directly below genus. In the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, a subgeneric name can be used independently or included in a species name, in parentheses, placed betw ..., ''Sycomorus''.
