Abstract: Investigating and observating 11 fixed trees at the regular time, 25 species of fig wasps included in 14 genara of 7 families were obtarned.These wasp species include pollinanator species and nonpollinator species. Eupristina altissima,one of 2 F. altissima pollinators,is the main pollinator.The fruit size of F. altissima differ greatly and the fruits whose diameter are over 2.5 cm only produce galls of nonpollinator.Obviously,these nonpollinators negatively affect the figs and its pollitors.This paper reports the wasps growing in the figs of F. altissima,their classification,and the effect of some nonpollinator on the mutualism.
