Torymidae (family) (Torymid wasp)


'Most torymids are associated with plant galls or seeds, either as gall-formers, as inquilines or as parasites of gall-forming insects. Others are parasitic on insect eggs, immature stages of Lepidoptera or Hymenoptera, or hyperparasitic via Tachinidae' (Naumann, 1991, 'The insects of Australia', 2nd ed., p. 962).
