Diagnosis. Camptoptera belongs to the Camptoptera group of genera. It is distinguished from other genera in the group as follows: body small to minute; head and mesosoma weakly reticulate; funicle 7-segmented, with segment 2 usually very short, ringlike ( Fig. 63 ); mandible with 1 tooth; fore wing narrow, with posterior margin usually distinctly concave towards wing apex so wing appearing more or less distinctly curved apically ( Fig. 60 ); petiole often with a lateral flange at about midpoint ( Fig. 65 ). Fore leg as in Fig. 61 . Male antenna

10-segmented, with at least one ring segment ( Fig. 62 ), and genitalia as in Fig. 64 .

Body length. 208–947 µm.

Distribution. Worldwide.

Hosts. Unknown for Australian species. Elsewhere reported from eggs of Scolytidae and Buprestidae , and

possibly Cicadellidae , Aleyrodidae , and Thripidae .

Important reference. Huber & Lin (1999).
