Alexandre Arsène Girault was an American entomologist specializing in the study of chalcid wasps. An eccentric and controversial figure, Girault was also a prolific and dedicated entomologist. He published more than 325 papers and described over 3000 new taxa from Australia.
Pleistodontes is a genus of fig wasps native to Australia and New Guinea, with one species from Java. Fig wasps have an obligate mutualism with the fig species they pollinate. Pleistodontes pollinates species in section Malvanthera of the Ficus subgenus Urostigma.
Coccophagus is a large genus of chalcid wasps belonging to the family Aphelinidae.
Ablerus is the only genus in the family Azotidae. The genus was created by the American entomologist Leland Ossian Howard in 1894 for the species named in that year by William Harris Ashmead as Centrodora clisiocampae. The genus Azotus was synonymized with Ablerus by Alexandre Arsène Girault in 1913 and Hyatt synonymized Myocnemella with Ablerus in 1994, leaving Ablerus as the sole genus within the subfamily Azotinae. Azotinae was elevated in rank in 2013 to become the monotypic family Azotidae.
Trichilogaster is a small genus of chalcid wasps in the family Melanosomellidae, previously they were included in family Pteromalidae subfamily Ormocerinae. With one described exception, they all are Australian species that are gall-formers on Australian species of Acacia. The exception is an Arabian species. Apart from its ecological interest, the genus is of practical importance because some of its members are successful biocontrol agents in South Africa at least, where T. acaciaelongifoliae and T. signiventris have been established successfully to control invasive Australian Acacia species, notably Acacia longifolia and Acacia pycnantha.
Trichilogaster signiventris, commonly known as the golden wattle bud-galling wasp, is a species of Australian chalcid wasps that parasitises, among others, Acacia pycnantha. It has been introduced into South Africa, where the golden wattle has become an invasive pest.
Megastigmus is a genus of minute wasps. There are more than 134 described species, more than half of which undergo larval development within the seeds of trees and shrubs.
Cleonymus is a genus of wasps in the family Cleonymidae. There are more than 40 described species in the genus, which has been recorded on every continent except Antarctica.
Austroencyrtus is a genus of parasitic wasps.
Parachalcerinys is a genus of wasp. As of 2018, three species are recognized, which are all found in Australia.
Anaphothrips is a genus of thrips belonging to the family Thripidae.
Anaphes is a genus of fairyflies belonging to the family Mymaridae. It was first described by Alexander Henry Haliday in 1833.
Neapterolelaps is a genus of Hymenoptera belonging to the family Pteromalidae. They are diurnal.
Proaphelinoides is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Aphelinidae.
Plutarchia is a genus of chalcid wasp in the subfamily Eurytominae. Alexandre Arsène Girault first circumscribed the genus in 1925; its name honors Plutarch. The genus initially only comprised its type species, P. bicarinativentris, found in Australia. Subsequent species from South Asia and Nigeria have been described and transferred to Plutarchia.
Aphelinoidea is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Trichogrammatidae.
Thoreauia is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Trichogrammatidae.
Parurios is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Pteromalidae.
Anagroidea is a genus of fairyflies within the family Mymaridae. There are currently 5 species assigned to the genus.
Polynemoidea is a genus of fairyflies within the family Mymaridae. There are currently 6 species assigned to the genus, with an extinct species, P. mexicana, being found to have lived 23.03 MYA.
