Etymology Named for Professor Steven Cooper, who has provided extensive mentoring to EPF-J during her PhD. Material examined Holotype AUSTRALIA • ♀ ; Queensland , Kuranda ; -16.8154 , 145.643 ; 317 m a.s.l. ; 16 Mar.–12 Apr. 2017 ; M.S. Moulds leg.; Malaise Trap ; Extraction548, BOLD: AUMIC340-18; QM T250947 . Description Female COLOURATION. Gena without a pale spot; labrum pale; scape colour in ventral half paler than flagellomeres at proximal end; flagellomeres all black/dark brown; tegula dark; wing veins uniformly black or brown, or with small lighter area proximally; anteromesoscutum dark with very slight orange patches on posterolateral corners; scutellar disk and metanotum dark; propodeum dark; fore coxa white; mid coxa white; hind coxa dark; hind femur orange to light brown; hind tibia light brown; hind basitarsus light brown; T1 dark; T2 sclerotised area dark; T2 lateral area same colour as sclerotised area, or only slightly paler; T3 mostly dark with paler lateral areas; T4+ dark. HOLOTYPE BODY MEASUREMENTS. Body length 2.3 mm ; fore wing length 2.2 mm . HEAD. Face densely sculptured, punctate reticulate; antennal flagellomere 2 length/width 3.63; OOD/ POD 1.50; IOD/POD 1.50. MESOSOMA. Anteromesoscutum with very sparse, deep punctures; scutellar disk smooth in centre, some deep punctures on lateral edges; six pits in scutellar sulcus; propodeum with median carina present and complete, rest of propodeum strongly rugose. WINGS. Pterostigma length 0.58 mm ; pterostigma width 0.17 mm ; r 0.15 mm ; 2RS 0.1 mm ; 2m 0.11 mm ; (RS+M)b 0.08 mm . Fig. 26.

Anterior head. G . Dorsal mesosoma. H . Dorsal metasoma. METASOMA. T1 lateral edges parallel for anterior 1/4 of length, then gently narrowing posteriorly, lateral edges often with slight curve; T1 smooth in anterior half, punctate reticulate in posterior half; T1 length 0.5 mm ; T1 width at posterior edge 0.21 mm ; T2 width greater than length, rectangular with rounded anterior corners; T2 smooth and shiny; T2 length 0.15 mm ; T2 width at posterior edge 0.36 mm ; ovipositor slightly protruding from end of metasoma. Male Unknown. Remarks Glyptapanteles cooperi sp. nov. constitutes BIN: BOLD:ADL4822 and is 6.98% (p-dist.) divergent from the closet BIN in the database (BOLD:ADG5990, an undescribed lineage from Australia , with two specimens ). Using the BOLD Batch ID engine, the COI barcode of the holotype is 6.8% different from the most similar COI sequence from an Australian specimen (GMQQW352-18; an undescribed lineage, with two specimens ). The type specimen was able to be sequenced for the wingless gene, which differs by a minimum of 4 bp from all other species with available sequence data. Distribution This species is currently only represented by a single specimen from Kuranda, northern QLD.
