A new species group, the brevis-group, is established for two new species of the fig wasp genus Sycophaga Westwood (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae) reared from the monoecious fig tree Ficus orthoneura (Moraceae, Ficus, subgenus Urostigma) in China. The two new species, S. brevis n. sp. and S. diutius n. sp. are described and illustrated, supplemented by COI sequence data. In contrast with two other species groups newly recognized in Sycophaga, the explorator-group for species previously classified in Apocryptophagus Ashmead and the sycomori-group for other species previously classified in Sycophaga, the brevis-group is uniquely defined by the long pronotum of females and a Ficus host within the subgenus Urostigma.
为从中国雌雄同株的正榕（桑科榕属，榕亚属）中饲养出的两种新榕小蜂（膜翅目：榕小蜂科）建立了一个新物种组——brevis组。描述并图示了两个新物种，即短榕小蜂新种（S. brevis n. sp.）和长榕小蜂新种（S. diutius n. sp.），并补充了细胞色素氧化酶亚基I（COI）序列数据。与榕小蜂属中另外两个新认定的物种组（之前归类于隐榕小蜂属的物种组成的探索者组，以及之前归类于榕小蜂属的其他物种组成的榕果小蜂组）不同，brevis组的独特定义是雌虫前胸背板长以及榕亚属内的榕属寄主。
