Glyptapanteles operculinae
(Fullaway, 1941)
Fig. 16D
Diagnosis
This species has a distinctive scutellum, with the lateral band extremely broad so that the lateral scutellum is compressed into a narrow crenulated sulcus. This, along with the T1 being extremely sharply narrowing posteriorly from a broad anterior width, means this species is very unlikely to be conspecific with any of the newly described Australian species.
