Glyptapanteles rixi sp. nov. and G. dowtoni sp. nov. have S5+ dark and T4–6 with at least some dark areas, or completely dark. The wingless sequences of the three species differ by at least 6 bp and the COI differs by at least 4.3%. Etymology This species is named for Dr Max Moulds, who collected the type series, along with many other specimens, whilst kindly running a Malaise trap for this and other microgastrine projects at Kuranda, north QLD.

Antennal flagellomere 14 length/width 1.83–2.16; antennal flagellomere 2 length/width 1.77– 3.00; OOD/POD 1.37–1.71; IOD/POD 1.57–1.75. MESOSOMA. Anteromesoscutum sculpturing with shallow to deep punctures, space between punctures a mixture of smaller than diameter of punctures and of similar size. Often smoother in posterior centre; scutellar disk sculpturing with deep or shallow, sparse, irregularly spaced punctures, more common on anterior lateral edges; 9–12 pits in scutellar sulcus; propodeum with median carina absent, strong punctures in anterior half, rugose sculpturing in posterior half. WINGS. Pterostigma length 0.54 mm ; pterostigma width 0.18 mm ; r 0.28 mm ; 2RS 0.12 mm ; 2m 0.05 mm ; (RS+M)b 0.1 mm . METASOMA. T1 lateral edges parallel for anterior 1/4 of length, then gently narrowing posteriorly, lateral edges often with slight curve or lateral edges parallel for anterior ¾ of length, then narrowing posteriorly; T1 smooth and shiny, sometimes with shallow sculpturing along lateral edges or some shallow scattered punctures on lateral edges; T1 length 0.3 mm ; T1 width at posterior edge 0.09 mm ; T2 an isosceles trapezoid, lateral edges straight; T2 smooth and shiny; T2 length 0.14 mm ; T2 width at posterior edge 0.21 mm ; ovipositor slightly protruding from end of metasoma. Male Unknown. Remarks Glyptapanteles mouldsi sp. nov. constitutes BIN: BOLD:ADL3640 and is 4.87% (p-dist). divergent from the closet BIN in the database (BOLD:AEI8040, an undescribed lineage from Australia , with one specimen ). Using the BOLD Batch ID engine, the COI barcode of the holotype is 5.2% different from the most similar COI sequence from an Australian specimen (AUGLY141-21; an undescribed lineage, with a single specimen). All four of the type specimens were able to be sequenced for the wingless gene and share a unique barcode, which differs by a minimum of 5 bp from all other species with available sequence data. Distribution This species is currently known from Kuranda in QLD.
