Sycophila is a genus of wasp in the family Eurytomidae that associates with figs [1] and galls of various insects such as gall wasps and gall midges. [2] It can be distinguished from other eurytomid genera by the elongate petiole, the gaster often being laterally compressed, and the forewing having a broadened marginal vein and dark brown maculae. [3] Sycophila has a cosmopolitan distribution.
