Additionally, the wingless sequences of the two holotype specimens are distinct and differ by 5 bp. Etymology The species epithet ‘ eburneus ’ is a Latin adjective for ‘ivory’ and refers to the pale colouration of T1–2. Material examined Holotype AUSTRALIA • ♀ ; New South Wales , Royal National Park . south end , Lady Carrington Drive Rainforest ; -34.1482 , 151.031 ; 24 Nov. 1996 ; A.D. Austin leg.; Extraction 439, BOLD: AUMIC274-18; AM K.517935 . Description Female COLOURATION. Gena without a pale spot; labrum pale; scape colour in ventral half uniformly paler than flagellomeres; flagellomeres darkening distally; tegula pale; wing veins uniformly black or brown, or with small lighter area proximally; anteromesoscutum dark with significant orange patches on posterolateral corners; scutellar disk and metanotum dark; propodeum dark; fore coxa pale yellow; mid coxa pale yellow; hind coxa pale yellow; fore femur pale yellow; mid femur pale yellow; hind femur pale yellow; fore tibia pale yellow; mid tibia pale yellow; hind tibia darkening posteriorly; hind basitarsus light brown; T1 pale; T2 sclerotised area pale; T2 lateral area same colour as sclerotised area, or only slightly paler; T3 pale; T4 pale with dark patch in centre, then darkening posteriorly on T5–7.

Dorsal metasoma. G . Lateral habitus. HOLOTYPE BODY MEASUREMENTS. Body length 2.7 mm ; fore wing length 2.7 mm ; antennal length slightly longer than body length. HEAD. Face densely sculptured, punctate reticulate; antennal flagellomere 14 length/width 2.16; antennal flagellomere 2 length/width 3.62; OOD/POD 1.75; IOD/POD 1.75. MESOSOMA. Anteromesoscutum sculpturing with deep punctures, space between punctures a mixture of smaller than diameter of punctures and of similar size; scutellar disk sculpturing with deep irregularly spaced punctures; nine pits in scutellar sulcus; propodeum with median carina present and complete, rest of propodeum mostly smooth. WINGS. Pterostigma length 0.62 mm ; pterostigma width 0.23 mm ; r 0.18 mm ; 2RS 0.16 mm ; 2m 0.10 mm ; (RS+M)b 0.10 mm . METASOMA. T1 wedge-shaped, narrowing posteriorly for entirety of length, lateral edges straight (but not parallel); T1 mostly smooth, some punctures in posterior half; T1 length 0.4 mm ; T1 width at posterior edge 0.12 mm ; T2 with curved lateral and anterior edges, becoming arch- or semicircle-shaped; T2 smooth and shiny; T2 length 0.17 mm ; T2 width at posterior edge 0.3 mm ; ovipositor slightly protruding from end of metasoma. Male Unknown. Remarks Glyptapanteles eburneus sp. nov. constitutes BIN: BOLD:ADL5650 and is 2.4% (p-dist.) divergent from the closet BIN in the database (BOLD:ADL3303; Glyptapanteles foraminous sp. nov. ). Using the BOLD Batch ID engine, the COI barcode of the holotype is 2.3% different from the most similar COI sequence from an Australian specimen (AUMIC069-18; Glyptapanteles foraminous sp. nov. ). The type specimen was able to be sequenced for the wingless gene, which differs by a minimum of 5 bp from all other species with available sequence data. Distribution This species is currently represented by a single specimen from Royal National Park, just south of Sydney.
