Figs. 251 and 252

This small group has been variously classified, most frequently as cynipids. Species are gall associates, presumably gall wasp parasitoids. Ronquist (1999) grouped them as members of the ‘figitoid inquilines’, but Buffington and Liljeblad (2008) revised the genus and recognized the group as a distinct subfamily; Buffington et al. (2007) phylogenetically recovered the group outside of the other gall-associated figitids.

Biology. Parasitoids or inquilines of Andricus spp. (Cynipini) on Quercus spp.

Distribution. Holarctic Region; mostly Nearctic, with one recent specimen seen from Serbia ( Buffington , pers. obsv.)

Relevant literature. Ashmead (1896) described the genus; Buffington and Liljeblad (2008) revised the genus and described the subfamily.
