Glyptapanteles afiamaluanus
(Fullaway, 1941)
Fig. 16A–B
Diagnosis
Glyptapanteles afiamaluanus
is easily separated from any of the described species of
Glyptapanteles
in the Australasian region by the distinctive shape of T1, which broadens significantly in the anterior half and then narrows posteriorly and the strong median carina on the propodeum.
Material examined
No specimens examined, illustrations in
Austin & Dangerfield (1992
: figs 49–50) used as reference (
Fig. 16A–B
).
Remarks
Host unknown. This species is very distinctive amongst the Australasian fauna and the genus placement is very tentative.
Distribution
Samoa
(Upolu Is).
