Pleistodontes

Pleistodontes  is a genus of fig wasps native to Australia and New Guinea, with one species (P. claviger) from Java.  Fig wasps have an obligate mutualism with the fig species they pollinate.  Pleistodontes  pollinates species in section Malvanthera of the Ficus subgenus Urostigma.

In their revision of the Australian members of the genus, Carlos Lopez-Vaamonde and coauthors expressed the opinion that P. claviger did not belong in the genus.
