 Hemitorymus Ashmead, 1904. Carnegie Mus., Mem. 1: 243. 



Type-species: He7)iitory7)ius thoracicus Ashmead. Orig. desig. 



Members of this genus exhibit a diverse range of habits. A few species are phytophagous, but 

 the majority are parasitic on gall-forming Hymenoptera and Diptera. A few parasitize 

 gall-forming Psyllidae. Several species are known to develop on the host larva as well as 

 phytophagously in surrounding plant tissue.
