Notes on biology. Coelocyba was recorded as an obligate primary parasitoid of Fergusonina on Eucalyptus ( Currie 1937) ,as inquilines from pteromalid galls on Acacia ( Noble 1940) and as probable inquilines of hymenopteran and dipteran galls on Acacia and Eucalyptus ( Bouček 1988) . It was considered an inquiline or primary parasitoid of F. lockarti on Eucalyptus ( Taylor et al. 1996) , and as a primary endoparasitoid of Fergusonina on Melaleuca ( Davies et al. 2001) .
