Epichrysomallidae
Epichrysomallidae is a family of gall-forming wasps associated with fig trees (genus ''Ficus'') - they make galls in figs, or on leaves or twigs. Once considered a subfamily of Pteromalidae (Epichrysomallinae), this group of genera has been elevated to family rank; they are now known to be more closely related to other gall-forming chalcid wasps than to pteromalids. Description Antenna with 10–12 flagellomeres, including a small fourth clavomere. The labrum is flexible, and hidden behind the clypeus. Mandibles In anatomy, the mandible, lower jaw or jawbone is the largest, strongest and lowest bone in the human facial skeleton. It forms the lower jaw and holds the lower teeth in place. The mandible sits beneath the maxilla. It is the only movable bone ... have three teeth. Notauli complete. In most genera, all legs have five tarsomeres, except for ''Odontofroggatia'' and ''Josephiella'', which have four-segmented tarsi. The stigmal vein of the fore wing arises at a rig ...
