Glyptapanteles arcanus sp. nov. , G. vergrandiacus sp. nov. and G. goodwinnoakes sp. nov. also have coarse sculpturing on the propodeum (although to a lesser degree), but T1 is either smooth or with clear punctures (but not rugose sculpturing). It is noted, however, that all these species are morphologically very similar and identifications should be made with DNA barcodes. There was not a morphological character found to easily differentiate G. lambkinae sp. nov. from G. erucadesolator sp. nov. , which are sister lineages in the current phylogeny ( Fig. 2 ); however, as the species differ by 2 bp in the wingless sequence and the COI barcodes are>6% divergent, we feel confident that these are different species. Etymology Named for Dr Christine Lambkin, who collected the type material and EPF-J and ARD thank her for all her support and help over the years.

HOLOTYPE BODY MEASUREMENTS. Body length 2.7 mm ; fore wing length 2.5 mm ; antennal length similar to body length. HEAD. Antennal flagellomere 14 length/width 1.12–1.62; antennal flagellomere 2 length/width 3.00– 3.85; OOD/POD 1.43–1.71; IOD/POD 1.33–1.71. 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, sparse, irregularly spaced punctures, more common on anterior lateral edges; 10–11 pits in scutellar sulcus; propodeum with median carina absent, strongly rugose, sometimes with punctures in centre.

T1 lateral edges parallel for anterior ¾ of length, then narrowing posteriorly; T1 coarsely sculptured; T1 length 0.46 mm ; T1 width at posterior edge 0.09 mm ; T2 an isosceles trapezoid, lateral edges straight; T2 smooth and shiny; T2 length 0.16 mm ; T2 width at posterior edge 0.27 mm ; ovipositor slightly protruding from end of metasoma.

Fore wing. F . Lateral head. Remarks Glyptapanteles lambkinae sp. nov. constitutes BIN BOLD:ADL3041 and is 6.09% (p-dist.) divergent from the closet BIN in the database (BOLD:ADL3293; Glyptapanteles wrightae sp. nov. ). Using the BOLD Batch ID engine, the COI sequence of the holotype is 6.1% different from the most similar COI sequence from an Australian specimen (AUGLY141-21; an undescribed lineage, with a single specimen). All four five specimens were sequenced for the wingless gene, which is identical within the species and differs by a minimum of 2 bp from all other species with available sequence data. Distribution This species is known only from Lamington National Park in southern QLD.
