The Eucharitidae are a family of parasitic wasps. Eucharitid wasps are members of the superfamily Chalcidoidea and consist of three subfamilies: Oraseminae, Eucharitinae, and Gollumiellinae. Most of the 55 genera and 417 species of Eucharitidae are members of the subfamilies Oraseminae and Eucharitinae, and are found in tropical regions of the world.
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.
Ceranisus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae. They are parasitoids of thrips of the order Thysanoptera and may be important in their biological control.
Galeopsomyia is a New World genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
Aphytis is a genus of chalcid wasp in the Aphelinidae family. Members of this genus are very small averaging two to three millimetres in length and are mostly black or yellow with transparent wings. The larvae are parasitic on other insects. There are about 130 species.
Ablerus is a genus of chalcid wasps formerly belonging to the family Aphelinidae. 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 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.
Sycophila is a genus of wasp that associates with figs. They have a cosmopolitan distribution.
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.
Entedoninae is a subfamily of chalcid wasps from the family Eulophidae which includes over 90 genera.
Eulophinae is a subfamily of chalcid wasps from the family Eulophidae which includes over 90 genera.
Austroencyrtus is a genus of parasitic wasps.
Psyllaephagus is a genus of chalcid wasps. It was named and circumscribed by William Harris Ashmead in 1900. As of 2017, Psyllaephagus contains approximately 245 species.
Mymar is a genus of fairyflies in the family Mymaridae. There are about 10 described species in Mymar.
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 wasps belonging to the family Pteromalidae.
Herodotia is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Agaonidae.
