Synonyms and other taxonomic changes
Torymus californicus
Torymus warreni
Size
In the preponderant long-ovipositor morph, body length ranges from 2.2 mm to 5.4 mm. As body length increases, the length of the ovipositor increases disproportionately (i.e. the ratio of ovipositor length to body length gets greater). Nevertheless, even the smallest (2.2 mm) specimens of the long-ovipositor morph have the ovipositor longer than it is in the largest specimens (body length about 4 mm) of the short-ovipositor morph.
Food
