Molecular phylogeny of fig wasps Agaonidae are not monophyletic
Comptes Rendus De L'Académie Des Sciences Série 3, Sciences De La Vie, 1998According to the present classification, the family Agaonidae contains all fig pollinators as well as five subfamilies of non-pollinating fig wasps. The molecular phylogeny of the family was reconstructed using partial sequences of the 28S rRNA (D1 and D2 domains). Our results show that the family Agaonidae is not monophyletic.

HOST SPECIFICITY OF FIG WASPS (AGAONIDAE) [PDF]
Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 1970 For the development of seeds, the figs (Ficus spp.) are dependent upon small chalcidoid wasps of the family Agaonidae. No other means of pollination of fig flowers is available to the plant, and the wasps cannot develop anywhere except in the gall flowers of the fig.2 There has been considerable difference of opinion as to the degree of host ...

Fig Wasps in Dominican Amber (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae) [PDF]
American Museum Novitates, 2006 The fauna of fig wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Agaonidae: Agaoninae) preserved in Early Miocene (Burdigalian) amber from the Dominican Republic is reported. Three species are described, representing both of the exclusively neotropical genera Tetrapus Mayr and ...

The structure of the female reproductiiye system in the Agaonidae (Chalcidoidea, Hymenoptera)
Physiological Entomology, 1973SYNOPSIS An account is given of the gaster, ovipositor mechanism and reproductive system in female Agaonidae. The structure and possible functions are compared with that of other chalcid families and the phylogenetic relationships of the group are discussed.

Chromosome numbers are not fixed in Agaonidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea)
Symbiosis, 2011Agaonidae (the pollinators of fig trees, Ficus spp., Moraceae) are a distinctive family of chalcid wasps with uncertain affinities within the Chalcidoidea. Chromosome numbers have only been described previously for one species (Blastophaga psenes, 2n = 12, the pollinator of F. carica, of subgenus Ficus).

The Phylogeny of the Agaonidae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea)
Netherlands Journal of Zoology, 1981This is an interim report on the analysis of the relationships within the Agaonidae (fig wasps). The family is subdivided into the two subfamilies Agaoninae and Blastophaginae. In the Agaoninae, three groups are recognized, according to their geographical distribution (i.e., Africa, Australia c.a., South America).

Fifteen polymorphic microsatellite loci in Wiebesia pumilae (Hill) (Agaonidae)
Conservation Genetics Resources, 2009Pollinating fig wasps and their hosts establish a paradise for coevolution and sex ratio studies. High polymorphic molecular markers would be a great assistance for such studies. We developed 15 microsatellite markers from Wiebesia pumilae, the obligate pollinator of Ficus pumila, and estimated the polymorphism with 22 individual wasps from Yongjia ...

Fig wasps (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae and Torymidae) in New Zealand
New Zealand Entomologist, 2000The symbiotic Hymenoptera associated with the Australian banyan figs Ficus macrophylla and F. rubiginosa and established in New Zealand are listed and keyed. Pseudidarnes minerva (Girault), Sycoscapter australis (Froggatt) and Megastigmus sp. are new records for the N.Z. fauna.
