Seven Sycoryctine Fig Wasp Species (Chalcidoidea: Pteromalidae) Associated with Dioecious Inhabiting South China and Southeast Asia.

Even though non-pollinating fig wasps are essential components in tropical and subtropical habitats, yet they are poorly described in the Oriental communities. This study presented seven new sycoryctine fig wasp species associated with fig trees inhabiting South China and Southeast Asia. These new sycoryctine species belong to the genera , , and . They can be easily distinguished by their adaptive morphologies such as face sculpture, body-color, and ovipositors. An identification key is provided to differentiate between them, and the relationships with their host fig trees are also discussed. The holotypes and paratypes are both deposited in the South China Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China.
