Trichilogaster Esculenta
''Trichilogaster'' is a small genus of chalcid wasps in the family Melanosomellidae, previously they were included in family Pteromalidae subfamily Ormocerinae. With one described exception, they all are Australian species that are gall-formers on Australian species of'' Acacia''. The exception is an Arabian species. Apart from its ecological interest, the genus is of practical importance because some of its members are successful biocontrol agents in South Africa at least, where ''T. acaciaelongifoliae'' and ''T. signiventris'' have been established successfully to control invasive Australian ''Acacia'' species, notably ''Acacia longifolia'' and ''Acacia pycnantha''. Species The species most recently recognised in a revision of the genus are: *''Trichilogaster acaciaelongifoliae'' (Froggatt, 1892) *''Trichilogaster arabica'' Ferrière, 1947 *''Trichilogaster channingi'' (Girault, 1913) *''Trichilogaster esculenta'' Ferrière, 1947 *''Trichilogaster flavivena'' (Girault, 1931) ...

Trichilogaster Acaciaelongifoliae
''Trichilogaster acaciaelongifoliae'' is an Australian bud-galling wasp from the family Pteromalidae that parasitises, among others, ''Acacia longifolia'' (long-leaved wattle, or Sydney golden wattle), which has become an invasive pest An invasive species otherwise known as an alien is an introduced organism that becomes overpopulated and harms its new environment. Although most introduced species are neutral or beneficial with respect to other species, invasive species ad ... in several countries. ''T. acaciaelongifoliae'' has been introduced into South Africa in 1985 and into Portugal in 2015 as a successful biological control agent of ''A. longifolia''.

Acacia Pycnantha
''Acacia pycnantha'', most commonly known as the golden wattle, is a tree of the family Fabaceae native to southeastern Australia. It grows to a height of and has phyllodes (flattened leaf stalks) instead of true leaves. Sickle-shaped, these are between long, and wide. The profuse fragrant, golden flowers appear in late winter and spring, followed by long seed pods. Plants are cross-pollinated by several species of honeyeater and thornbill, which visit nectaries on the phyllodes and brush against flowers, transferring pollen between them. An understorey plant in eucalyptus forest, it is found from southern New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, through Victoria and into southeastern South Australia. Explorer Thomas Mitchell collected the type specimen, from which George Bentham wrote the species description in 1842. No subspecies are recognised. The bark of ''A. pycnantha'' produces more tannin than any other wattle species, resulting in its commercial culti ...

Trichilogaster Signiventris
''Trichilogaster signiventris'', commonly known as the golden wattle bud-galling wasp, is a species of Australian chalcid wasps that parasitises, among others, ''Acacia pycnantha'' (golden wattle). It has been introduced into South Africa, where the golden wattle has become an invasive plant, invasive pest. American entomologist Alexandre Arsène Girault described the species as ''Perilampella signiventris'' in 1931. The female is yellow and black in colour, though highly variable in colour proportion and pattern. It is long. The male is of similar size and almost entirely black with black and yellow legs. The success of the related species ''Trichilogaster acaciaelongifoliae'' in managing ''Acacia longifolia'' led scientists to look for another species to control ''A. pycnantha''. ''T. signiventris'' was introduced twice and at first thought a failure. Wasps from Lake Natimuk in Victoria were transported and released in Western Cape in 1987 and as no galls were seen the fir ...
