Ormyrus Westwood, 1832

Remarks
Species such as Ormyrus striatus (Silvestri) have been reared from cultivated olives in South Africa (Neuenschwander 1982). Species such as this are considered to be parasitoids of seed wasps (Silvestri 1915), and no orymrids are known to attack olive fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi).

Members of this genus are easily recognized relative to other chalcidoid wasps because of the transverse series of pits across some of the metasomal terga (Figs. 2, 4).
