Torymus fagopirum
Torymus fagopirum is a chalcid wasp in the family Torymidae. The species has been documented as a parasitoid of gall-forming insects, including psyllids. It is known from multiple provinces across Canada. Torymus species in general are associated with galls, where they develop as parasitoids of the gall inducers.
Torymus fullawayi
Torymus fullawayi is a small parasitoid wasp in the family Torymidae, described by Huber in 1927. The species belongs to a genus known for gall-associated parasitism, though specific biological details for this species remain poorly documented. Torymid wasps are generally recognized as parasitoids of gall-forming insects and occasionally as seed-feeders. Records indicate this species has been collected in western North America, with specimens held in major entomological collections.
Torymus solitarius
Torymus solitarius is a small parasitic wasp in the family Torymidae, known to attack gall-forming insects. The species has been documented as a parasitoid of hackberry psyllid nymphs (Pachypsylla spp.) within their galls on hackberry trees. It is one of several Torymus species associated with psyllid galls in North America. Adults emerge from galls by chewing exit holes after completing larval development on the host nymph.
Torymus tubicola
Torymus tubicola is a species of chalcid wasp in the family Torymidae. The species is known to parasitize gall-forming insects, including psyllid nymphs within plant galls. It has been recorded from multiple provinces across Canada.
