Eurytomidae

The Eurytomidae are a family within the superfamily Chalcidoidea.

Eurytoma is a genus of parasitoid chalcid wasps in the family Eurytomidae. There are at least 620 described species in Eurytoma. However, both morphological and phylogenomic studies have shown that Eurytoma is a polyphyletic lineage, and extensive taxonomic rearrangements are needed in order to resolve this genus .

Bruchophagus is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Eurytomidae. Recent phylogenomic study have shown that the genus is paraphyletic.

Sycophila is a genus of wasps in the family Eurytomidae. Species of the genus associate with figs and galls of various insects such as gall wasps and gall midges. It can be distinguished from other eurytomid genera by the elongate petiole, the gaster often being laterally compressed, and the forewing having a broadened marginal vein and dark brown maculae. Sycophila has a cosmopolitan distribution.

Tetramesa is a genus of phytophagous wasps. The genus has over 200 described species , and recently the genera Aiolomorphus and Cathilaria have also been synonymized within Tetramesa in light of phylogenomic evidence. They are generally species-specific gall inducers and can be used as biological control for invasive grasses. Adults feed on nectar.

Rileya is a genus of parasitoid wasp in the family Eurytomidae. There are 27 species currently assigned to the genus.
