Epichrysomallidae

Epichrysomallidae is a family of gall-forming wasps associated with fig trees (genus Ficus) - they make galls in figs, or on leaves or twigs.

Once considered a subfamily of Pteromalidae (Epichrysomallinae), this group of genera has been elevated to family rank; they are now known to be more closely related to other gall-forming chalcid wasps than to pteromalids.

[1] Antenna with 10–12 flagellomeres, including a small fourth clavomere.

The labrum is flexible, and hidden behind the clypeus.

In most genera, all legs have five tarsomeres, except for Odontofroggatia and Josephiella, which have four-segmented tarsi.
