Sycophila
Genus of wasps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sycophila is a genus of wasps in the family Eurytomidae. Species of the genus associate with figs[1] and galls of various insects such as gall wasps and gall midges.[2] 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.[3] Sycophila has a cosmopolitan distribution.
