Etymology The species epithet ‘ sanniopolus ’ is a combination of the Latin words ‘sannio’ (‛one who makes faces’) and ‛polus’ (‛pole of the earth’) and refers to the pale spot on the gena characteristic of this species and of the broader G. albigena species group. It is a noun in apposition. Material examined Holotype AUSTRALIA • ♀ ; New South Wales , Monga National Park near Penance Grove Walk ; -35.597372 , 149.912126 ; 9 Nov. 2019 – 16 Jan. 2020 ; K.M.

Gena with a pale spot; labrum pale; scape colour in ventral half the same colour or darker than flagellomeres; flagellomeres all black/dark brown; tegula pale; wing veins uniformly black or brown, or with small lighter area proximally; anteromesoscutum all dark or dark with very slight orange patches on posterolateral corners; scutellar disk and metanotum dark; propodeum dark; fore coxa pale yellow; mid coxa pale yellow; hind coxa dark; fore femur pale yellow; mid femur pale yellow; hind femur pale yellow; fore tibia pale yellow or light brown; mid tibia light brown; hind tibia darkening posteriorly; hind basitarsus light brown; T1 dark; T2 sclerotised area dark or dark reddish-brown; T2 lateral area same colour as sclerotised area, or only slightly paler, or dark extends past indentation, but then pale; T3 dark or uniformly brown; T4+ dark or reddish-brown. HOLOTYPE BODY MEASUREMENTS. Body length 2.4 mm ; fore wing length 2.6 mm ; antennal length slightly longer than body length. HEAD. Antennal flagellomere 14 length/width 2.6; antennal flagellomere 2 length/width 4.33; OOD/ POD 1.86; IOD/POD 1.43. 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 only very shallow punctures, smooth and shiny; nine pits in scutellar sulcus; propodeum with median carina present and complete, rest of propodeum strongly rugose. WINGS. Pterostigma length 0.6 mm ; pterostigma width 0.23 mm ; r 0.16 mm ; 2RS 0.15 mm ; 2m 0.13 mm ; (RS+M)b 0.1 mm . METASOMA. T1 wedge-shaped, narrowing posteriorly for entirety of length, lateral edges straight (but not parallel); T1 smooth and shiny, some shallow scattered punctures on lateral edges and posterior half or smooth in anterior half, indistinct sculpturing in posterior half; T1 length 0.62 mm ; T1 width at posterior edge 0.1 mm ; T2 an isosceles trapezoid, lateral edges straight; T2 with some shallow indistinct sculpturing or smooth and shiny, some shallow punctures along posterior edge; T2 length 0.16 mm ; T2 width at posterior edge 0.27 mm ; ovipositor slightly protruding from end of metasoma. Male As female, 7–9 pits in scutellar sulcus. Fig. 51. Glyptapanteles sanniopolus Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov. , holotype, ♀ (ANIC 32 130370). A . Fore wing. B . Dorsal mesosoma. C .

Remarks Glyptapanteles sanniopolus sp. nov. constitutes BIN: BOLD:ABA6208 and is 5.48% (p-dist.) divergent from the closet BIN in the database (BOLD:ADL3908; Glyptapanteles albigena sp. nov. ). Using the BOLD Batch ID engine, the COI barcode of the holotype is 5.6% different from the most similar COI sequence from an Australian specimen (AUMIC394-18; Glyptapanteles albigena sp. nov. ). The two specimens able to be sequenced for the wingless gene share a unique barcode, which differs by a minimum of 3 bp from all other species with available sequence data. Distribution This species is known from southern NSW and TAS.
