HYMENOPTERA, Eurytomidae (Walker
1833) - (Chalcidoidea). -- <Images> & <Juveniles> Eurytomidae. -- The
eurytomids resemble perilampids by having the thorax coarsely punctated, but
differ in that they have the abdomen rounded or oval and compressed. They are
black, with the thorax, head, and antennae usually hairy. They are more slender insects than the
perilampids. Their habits vary with some being
parasitic and some phytophagous. References:
