Notes.
Four female and 23 male specimens, mostly collected in Victoria Island, with some from Baffin Island (Clyde River). The external genitalia of male specimens suggest that this species might better be placed within
Sathon
(which would represent the northernmost record for that genus); however, the ovipositor and ovipositor sheaths in females indicate it is better placed within
Glyptapanteles
. DNA barcodes could only be obtained from three male specimens, but the sequences were too short (104-144 base pairs) and thus DNA barcoding could not conclusively place the species within any of the two potential genera. Based on the length of the female ovipositor we are provisionally placing this species within
Glyptapanteles
, although this may change with future studies.
