Introduction

Ormyridae are a small family that are not commonly collected. They are represented in Australia by 12 described species in a single genus, Ormyrus, which is treated by Boucek (1988). Ormyrids are characterised by the metasoma strongly sclerotised; tergites with coarse punctures or sculpturing; the hind tibia with two stout apical spurs, at least one of which is curved; the hind coxa about twice as long as the fore coxa and almost as long as hind femur; and the head with a horseshoe-shaped occipital carina.

Most species are parasitoids of gall-inducing insects, including other chalcidoids, cynipids and Diptera (flies). In the tropics, some species are known to attack insects within galls on figs.
