Colotrechninae

Ovipositing Cameronella, from here.

Belongs within: Chalcidoidea.

The Colotrechninae are a group of chalcidoid wasps found in Australia and South America. Host data are known for only a small number of species, but colotrechnines include species associated with plant galls and seed pods (Bouček 1988).

Characters (from Bouček 1988): Occipital carina absent; large axillulae present, separated from scutellum by (mostly) outcurving grooves or lines visible dorsally.
