Platygastridae

The hymenopteran family Platygastridae is a moderate-sized group of exclusively parasitoid wasps, mostly very small (1–2 mm), black, and shining, with geniculate (elbowed) antennae that usually have an eight-segmented flagellum. The wings often lack visible venation, and they may have slight fringes of setae.

Sceliotrachelinae
Sceliotrachelinae includes the genus Aphanomerus, which includes a number of species: • Aphanomerus aureus (Dodd, 1914) • Aphanomerus bicolor (Perkins, 1905) • Aphanomerus flavus (Dodd, 1914) • Aphanomerus niger (Perkins, 1905) • Aphanomerus nigriceps (Dodd, 1914) • Aphanomerus pusillus (Perkins, 1905) • Aphanomerus rufescens (Perkins, 1905) • Aphanomerus sordidus (Dodd, 1914) Aphanomerus pusillus, a wasp native to Queensland, Australia, has proven effective against the "pandanus planthopper", or Jamella australiae, which has decimated populations of Pandanus tectorius along the coasts of northern New South Wales and Queensland.
