Abstract
An account is presented of the taxonomy and biology of a community of parasitic Hymenoptera living in seeds of Ephedra nebrodensis in Spain. A miscogasterine pteromalid, representing a new genus and species, is phytophagous and the other six species, of which four chalcidoid species are described as new, are parasitoids of it. About 63% of seeds contained Hymenoptera.Keywords
