A new genus and species of the seldom-studied platygastroid subfamily Sceliotrachelinae is described from Australia. Calixomeria is a tiny (less than 1 mm long!), uniparental (females only) parasitic wasp found throughout mainland Australia and Tasmania. This research was conducted using informatics tools specifically developed for taxonomy and maintained by the Triplehorn Insect Collection.
