Rhoptromeris
Rhoptromeris is a genus of small parasitoid wasps in the family Figitidae (subfamily Eucoilinae). Species in this genus develop as parasitoids of chloropid flies (Diptera: Chloropidae), with hosts typically inhabiting conifer cones or grass stems. The genus currently contains nine valid Holarctic species, including the type species R. heptoma, which is an important parasitoid of the frit fly Oscinella frit, a significant pest of cereal crops.
