Glyptapanteles niveus species group The G. niveus species group can be separated from the other described Glyptapanteles from Australia by having the gena without a pale spot, T1 and T2 dark, propodeum coarsely rugose and the anteromesoscutum with very sparse deep punctures, always with some smooth areas larger than the diameter of punctures, face strongly punctured and T1 not wedge-shaped. All the described species also have a vividly white fore coxa, mid coxa, hind trochanter and anterior metasomal sternites. The species group currently contains three described species: G. bradfordae Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov., G. cooperi Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov. and G. niveus Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov. All three species also have larger eyes (and consequently, smaller malar spaces) than most other species of Glyptapanteles from Australia. This species group is currently only known from eastern QLD, from Kuranda (northern QLD) and from near Brisbane (southern QLD) (Fig. 4F). Unplaced species of Glyptapanteles from Australasia There are several species of Glyptapanteles from Australasia which we do not place within a species group, either because they do not form a monophyletic group with other species with which they share a clear morphological character, or because they are previously described species without molecular data and/or without clear morphological affinities to any of the assigned species groups. This includes G. afiamaluanus (Fullaway, 1941), G. artonae (Rohwer, 1926), G. aucklandensis (Cameron, 1909), G. baylessi Fagan-Jeffries, Bird &Austin sp. nov., G. deliasa Austin & Dangerfield, 1992, G. drioplanetus Fagan-Jeffries & Austin, 2021, G. fullawayi Austin & Dangerfield, 1992, G. kurandaensis Fagan- Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov., G. operculinae (Fullaway, 1941), G. phytometrae (Wilkinson, 1928) and G. taylori (Wilkinson, 1928). Of these unplaced species, only G. baylessi sp. nov., G. deliasa, G. drioplanetus and G. kurandaensis sp. nov. are found in Australia. Species treatments

Glyptapanteles ruhri Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 983624B0-EA3C-4AA3-B31B-54955164B7CB Figs 13B, 50 Diagnosis Glyptapanteles ruhri sp. nov. is in the G. arcanus species group and can be separated from the other members of the species group, other than from Glyptapanteles rodriguezae sp. nov., by having the hind femur pale in colouration, the propodeum punctate with smooth areas between punctures and with little-tono rugosity and T1 punctured in the posterior half. There was no external morphological character found which easily separates G. ruhri sp. nov. from G. rodriguezae sp. nov. and we do not provide a morphological diagnosis between these two species. The two species are sister lineages in the current phylogeny (Fig. 2), but Glyptapanteles ruhri sp. nov. is 6 bp different in the wingless sequence from G. rodriguezae sp. nov. and>6% divergent in the COI barcode and we therefore feel confident that they are different species. Etymology Named for researcher Peter R��hr, who was part of the collection of the type specimen and contributed to the success of a field trip in northern QLD in 2019 that led to the collection of many important microgastrine specimens.

Glyptapanteles wrightae Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 569C2146-14FF-4453-BA4E-A6A8787A044A Fig. 53 Diagnosis Glyptapanteles wrightae sp. nov. can be separated from the other members of the arcanus species group as follows: Glyptapanteles wrightae sp. nov. can be separated from G. rodriguezae sp. nov. and G. ruhri sp. nov. by T1 being smooth and shiny, not having punctures that cover at least a third of the area of the posterior half of the tergite. Glyptapanteles wrightae sp. nov. can be separated from G. goodwinnoakes sp. nov., G. erucadesolator sp. nov., G. lambkinae sp. nov., G. arcanus sp. nov. and G. vergrandiacus sp. nov. by the propodeum being less coarsely and less consistently rugose sculptured across the anterior half of the propodeum. Glyptapanteles wrightae sp. nov. has the propodeum with strong punctures in the anterior half, the posterior half with shallow or strong rugose sculpturing. Glyptapanteles wrightae sp. nov. can be separated from G. doreyi sp. nov. by the tegula being pale in colouration (the tegula in G. doreyi sp. nov. is generally dark in colouration), the hind femur mostly pale or light brown (mostly dark in G. doreyi sp. nov.) and the indentation in the centre of the mesopleuron being smooth, not strongly canaliculated as it is in G. doreyi sp. nov. There was not a morphological character found that easily separates G. wrightae sp. nov. from G. lessardi sp. nov. and we do not diagnose these species morphologically. The wingless barcodes of the two species differ by 3 bp and the COI is greater than 4% divergent. Etymology Named for Susan Wright, who collected the holotype specimen. EPF-J would like to acknowledge Susan’s support of visiting researchers at the QM and her continual generosity with her time and advice.

Remarks Glyptapanteles wrightae sp. nov. constitutes BIN BOLD:ADL3293 and is 1.76% (p-dist.) divergent from the closet BIN in the database (BOLD:AEI5416; see information below about the specimens within this BIN). Using the BOLD Batch ID engine, the COI sequence of the holotype is 1.7% different from the most similar COI sequence from an Australian specimen (AUGLY139-21, an undescribed lineage, with three sequences). This closely related lineage, (BOLD:AEI5416; also including BOLD AUGLY135-21 and AUGLY130-21) requires further study to determine whether it is within the species limits of G. wrightae sp. nov. or whether it represents a distinct species. Distribution This species is currently known from southern QLD and north-eastern NSW.

Glyptapanteles austini species group The G. austini species group contains three species: G. austini Fagan-Jeffries & Bird sp. nov., G. guzikae Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov. and G. kingae sp. nov., which are a monophyletic, molecularly distinct lineage (Fig. 2). Two species in this group (G. guzikae sp. nov. and G. austini sp. nov.) are known from single localities in southern SA, whilst G. kingae sp. nov. has a broad distribution and is found in the northern half of WA, central SA and the ACT (Fig. 4C). The group can be separated from the other species of Glyptapanteles described from Australia by the following combination of characters: gena without a pale spot, T1–T2 dark, anteromesoscutum all dark and with punctures without smooth areas greater than the diameter of punctures (i.e., anteromesoscutum not as in the G. niveus species group (i.e., not as in Fig. 12B)), propodeum not coarsely rugose, T1 only parallel for at most ⅔ of length before narrowing posteriorly, mesoscutellar disk without dense, strong punctures, scape darker or the same colour as flagellomeres, tegula pale, labrum dark.

Glyptapanteles albigena species group The G. albigena species group is easily separated from the other species of Glyptapanteles in Australasia by the gena having a pale spot. This pale spot varies from barely visible (e.g., G. harveyi sp. nov.), to a large area covering at least a third of the gena height (e.g., G. albigena sp. nov.). This species group contains nine species: G. albigena Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov., G. andamookaensis Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov., G. aspersus Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov., G. austrinus Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov. sp. nov., G. ferrugineus Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov., G. harveyi Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov., G. kittelae Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov., G. mnesampela Austin, 2000 and G. sanniopolus Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov. The species group, as currently known, has a broad distribution across the southern half of Australia (Fig. 4A)., Published as part of Fagan-Jeffries, Erinn P., McCLELLAND, Alana R., Bird, Andrew J., Giannotta, Madalene M., Bradford, Tessa M. & Austin, Andrew D., 2022, Systematic revision of the parasitoid wasp genus Glyptapanteles Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Microgastrinae) for Australia results in a ten-fold increase in species, pp. 1-116 in European Journal of Taxonomy 792 (1) on page 17, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2022.792.1647, http://zenodo.org/record/6037052

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.

Glyptapanteles lessardi Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 3DDE9CAF-3AD2-49C2-BBD6-875FF512E6C9 Fig. 43 Diagnosis Glyptapanteles lessardi sp. nov. is in the G. arcanus species group and can be separated from the other members of the group as follows: Glyptapanteles lessardi sp. nov. can be separated from G. rodriguezae sp. nov. and G. ruhri sp. nov. by T1 being smooth and shiny, not having punctures that cover at least a third of the area of the posterior half of the tergite. Glyptapanteles lessardi sp. nov. can be separated from G. goodwinnoakes sp. nov., G. erucadesolator sp. nov., G. lambkinae sp. nov., G. arcanus sp. nov. and G. vergrandiacus sp. nov. by the propodeum being less coarsely (and less consistently), strongly rugose sculptured across the anterior half of the propodeum. Glyptapanteles wrightae sp. nov. has the propodeum with strong punctures in the anterior half, the posterior half with shallow or strong rugose sculpturing. Glyptapanteles lessardi sp. nov. can be separated from G. doreyi sp. nov. by having the tegula pale in colouration (the tegula in G. doreyi sp. nov. is generally dark in colouration), the hind femur mostly pale or light brown (mostly dark in G. doreyi sp. nov.) and the indentation in the centre of the mesopleuron being smooth, not strongly canaliculated as it is in G. doreyi sp. nov. There was not a morphological character found that easily separates G. lessardi sp. nov. from G. wrightae sp. nov.; we do not diagnose these species morphologically. The wingless barcodes of the two species differ by 3 bp and the COI is greater than 4% divergent.

Genus Glyptapanteles Ashmead, 1904 Glyptapanteles Ashmead, 1904: 147. Glyptapanteles ��� Mason 1981: 105. ��� Austin & Dangerfield 1992: 32. ��� Arias-Penna et al. 2019 a: 561. For complete list of earlier synonyms and bibliography, see Shenefelt (1972) and Fern��ndez- Triana et al. (2020). Type species By monotypy, Apanteles ashmeadi Wilkinson, 1928: 84, a replacement name for Glyptapanteles manilae Ashmead, 1904. Diagnosis The diagnosis by Fern��ndez-Triana et al. (2020) works well for the Australian fauna and is as follows: ������fore wing without an areolet; propodeum that is either completely smooth (often) to more or less rugose (more rarely), with a median longitudinal carina that is entirely absent (often), partially defined posteriorly (often) to complete and strong (rarely), or no median carina but instead a series of very short carinae radiating from the nucha (rarely); T1 narrows towards the posterior margin, usually strongly (almost always), or more parallel-sided, or rounded at apex, as in some species of Protapanteles (rarely); T2 is almost always subtriangular or trapezoidal (rarely shaped differently); ovipositor and ovipositor sheaths are relatively short (usually) to moderately long (rarely); setae at apex of ovipositor sheaths relatively long (as long or longer than setae on hypopygium)��� (Fern��ndez-Triana et al. 2020: 36). Key to the described species groups and to the morphologically distinct species of Glyptapanteles from Australia This key is based on adult females. Due to there likely being many other undescribed species of Glyptapanteles in Australia, it should be treated with caution as undescribed species could possibly key to described species within this key. We feel that a morphological key is not particularly useful for this group, other than for separating the species groups which are quite distinct (e.g., the G. albigena species group, that has the gena with a pale spot), but we present one here for completeness. Ideally, morphological identifications should be supported with COI and wingless DNA barcodes. Species that come out together at a couplet are not reliably distinguished using morphology (e.g., couplet 7). 1.

Remarks Glyptapanteles kurandaensis sp. nov. constitutes BIN BOLD:ADL2798 and is 2.4% (p-dist.) divergent from the closet BIN in the database (BOLD:AAH1268, Glyptapanteles creatonoti (Viereck, 1912)). We have examined the images of G. creatonoti in Gupta et al. (2016) and are confident that G. kurandaensis sp. nov. is a different species, most easily separated by the following morphological characteristics: G. kurandaensis sp. nov. has the hind coxa dark (G. creatonoti hind coxa pale; ���stamineous��� in original description); G. kurandaensis sp. nov. has the propodeum much smoother than that of G. creatonoti and G. kurandaensis sp. nov. has T1 completely black, whilst G. creatonoti has the anterior area of T1 pale (���stamineous��� in original description, appearing pale orange in images of Gupta et al. (2016)). Using the BOLD Batch ID engine, the COI barcode of the holotype is 7.7% different from the most similar COI sequence from an Australian specimen (AUMIC291-18; Glyptapanteles austini sp. nov.). The type specimen was sequenced for the wingless gene, which differs by a minimum of 14 bp from all other species with available sequence data.

Glyptapanteles deliasa Austin & Dangerfield, 1992 Figs 13A, 27 Diagnosis Glyptapanteles deliasa can be separated from the other described species of Glyptapanteles in Australia by the combination of the following characters: gena without a pale spot, T1 and T2 dark, anteromesoscutum very smooth, with only shallow and regular punctures, no orange markings on the postero-lateral anteromesoscutum, propodeum very smooth with only shallow punctures and the median carina faintly indicated, T1 parallel-sided for most of length, only narrowing/curving inwards right at boundary with T3, ventral side of antennal scape (at least in distal half) darker than flagellomeres, tegula dark. Material examined Paratypes AUSTRALIA ��� 2 ♀♀; South Australia, Waikerie; 22 Jun. 1988; M.D. Moore leg.; ex Delias aganippe (Donovan) (Pieridae); WINC. Remarks There is a possibility that this species is conspecific with Cotesia deliadis (Bingham, 1906), as it is morphologically very similar and parasitises the same host. However, several attempts to extract DNA from paratype specimens to either confirm or refute this hypothesis have been unsuccessful. As such, we leave it within the genus Glyptapanteles until next-generation sequencing techniques can be used on the type series.

Remarks Glyptapanteles bradfordae sp. nov. constitutes BIN BOLD:AEI7940 and is 2.01% (p-dist.) divergent from the closet BIN in the database (BOLD:ADD8337, with three specimens from Papua New Guinea, see below). Using the BOLD Batch ID engine, the COI barcode of the holotype is 7.6% different from the most similar COI sequence from an Australian specimen (GMAQJ131-17; an undescribed lineage, with two specimens). Eight specimens were able to be sequenced for the wingless gene, which all share a unique barcode that differs by a minimum of 3 bp from all other species with available sequence data. There are three additional specimens sequenced for COI on BOLD which fall within 2% pairwise divergence and are in the closely related BIN BOLD:ADD8337. These specimens (GMNGH687-16, GMNGJ510-16 and GMNGS061-16) were all collected in Papua New Guinea, Madang, by Pagi Toko and are most likely the same species. Specimens were not examined, but a dorsal habitus image on BOLD (http://www.boldsystems.org/pics/GMNGS/BIOUG30657-C01%2B1487790120.jpg) supports this suggestion. Distribution This species is currently known from the east coast of QLD, from both Lamington National Park in the south and Kuranda in the north. It is also likely found in Papua New Guinea (based on the presence of closely related COI barcodes on BOLD)., Published as part of Fagan-Jeffries, Erinn P., McCLELLAND, Alana R., Bird, Andrew J., Giannotta, Madalene M., Bradford, Tessa M. & Austin, Andrew D., 2022, Systematic revision of the parasitoid wasp genus Glyptapanteles Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Microgastrinae) for Australia results in a ten-fold increase in species, pp. 1-116 in European Journal of Taxonomy 792 (1) on pages 41-44, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2022.792.1647, http://zenodo.org/record/6037052

Glyptapanteles eburneus species group The G. eburneus species group currently contains only two closely related species, G. eburneus Fagan- Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov. and G. foraminous Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov. which are differentiated from all other species of Glyptapanteles in Australia by having the gena without a pale spot, T1 completely pale, hind coxa pale, deep punctures on the anteromesoscutum and a clear median carina on the propodeum. This species group is known from two single localities on the east coast of Australia, in QLD and NSW (Fig. 4D).

Glyptapanteles mouldsi species group The G. mouldsi species group can be distinguished from all of the other Glyptapanteles described from Australia by having the gena without a pale spot, T2 pale in colouration, with T1 darker than T2 and no median carina on the propodeum. It contains three newly described species: G. dowtoni Fagan-Jeffries, Bird &Austin sp. nov., G. mouldsi Fagan-Jeffries, Bird &Austin sp. nov. and G. rixi Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov. The group is paraphyletic in the current phylogeny (Fig. 2). The G. mouldsi species group is currently only known from the east coast of Australia, from northern QLD to central NSW (Fig. 4E).

Glyptapanteles doreyi sp. nov. has the propodeum with shallow or strong punctures in the anterior half, the posterior half smooth or with shallow or strong rugose sculpturing and sometimes with a smooth area in the centre. Glyptapanteles doreyi sp. nov. can be separated from G. wrightae sp. nov. and G. lessardi sp. nov. by the tegula being dark in colouration, the same colour or only slightly lighter than the mesosoma (the tegula in G. wrightae sp. nov. and G. lessardi sp. nov. is pale) the hind femur mostly dark (pale or light brown in G. wrightae sp. nov. and G. lessardi sp. nov.) and the indentation in the centre of the mesopleuron being strongly canaliculate. The indentation on the mesopleuron of G. wrightae sp. nov. and G. lessardi sp. nov. is smoother, not strongly canaliculate. Etymology Named for James Dorey, who collected the holotype specimen.

Description Female COLOURATION. Gena without a pale spot; labrum mostly dark or reddish-brown; scape colour in ventral half uniformly paler than flagellomeres or paler than flagellomeres at proximal end; flagellomeres all black/dark brown; tegula normally dark (dark in holotype, sometimes paler in paratypes); 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 dark; mid coxa dark; hind coxa dark; fore femur pale yellow; mid femur pale yellow or light brown; hind femur dark reddish-brown, orange to light brown or dark; fore tibia pale yellow; mid tibia pale yellow or light brown; hind tibia darkening posteriorly; hind basitarsus light brown or dark reddish-brown; T1 dark; T2 sclerotised area dark; T2 lateral area same colour as sclerotised area, or only slightly paler or dark extends past indentation, but then pale; T3 dark, mostly dark with paler lateral areas or uniformly brown; T4+ dark or reddish-brown. HOLOTYPE BODY MEASUREMENTS. Body length 2.4 mm; fore wing length 2.3 mm; antennal length slightly shorter than body length. HEAD. Antennal flagellomere 14 length/width 1.25���2.00; antennal flagellomere 2 length/width 2.00��� 4.20; OOD/POD 1.57���2.50; IOD/POD 1.29���1.83. MESOSOMA. Anteromesoscutum sculpturing with shallow to deep punctures, space between punctures generally smaller than diameter of punctures; scutellar disk sculpturing with only very shallow punctures; 8���12 pits in scutellar sulcus; propodeum with median carina absent, shallow or strong punctures in anterior half, occasionally with small areas of shallow rugosity, posterior half of propodeum smooth or with shallow or strong rugose sculpturing, propodeum sometimes with smooth area in centre. WINGS. Pterostigma length 0.53 mm; pterostigma width 0.17 mm; r 0.15 mm; 2RS 0.14 mm; 2m 0.09 mm; (RS+M)b 0.08 mm. METASOMA. T1 lateral edges parallel for anterior �� to ⅔ of length, then narrowing posteriorly; T1 sometimes shiny, smooth, or mostly smooth with some punctures in posterior half, or smooth in anterior half with indistinct sculpturing in posterior half; T1 length 0.34 mm; T1 width at posterior edge 0.13 mm; T2 an isosceles trapezoid, lateral edges straight; T2 smooth and shiny; T2 length 0.14 mm; T2 width at posterior edge 0.31 mm; ovipositor slightly protruding from end of metasoma. Male As female but with slightly longer antennae. Remarks Glyptapanteles doreyi sp. nov. has two wingless haplotypes (differing by a single base pair); however, as the COI divergence between specimens with the two different haplotypes is not consistent (i.e., one specimen has a COI sequence that is more closely related to specimens with the alternative wingless haplotype than to others) and the COI divergence among all specimens is not above 2%, we consider all specimens to be one species. One of the wingless haplotypes is shared with the species G. arcanus sp. nov. and G. goodwinnoakes sp. nov. and both barcodes only differ by 1 bp from the species G. vergrandiacus sp. nov. and G. lessardi sp. nov. This group of species is very closely related and would benefit from future, more detailed taxonomic work to ensure that they are not simply divergent populations of the same species. For this species hypothesis, we have made the decision to split this large clade into different species based on the COI barcode sequences being>3% divergent; however, we note that this is a hypothesis and is open to change with future work. In the IQ-TREE analysis of the concatenated COI and wingless alignment, there are two clades within G. doreyi sp. nov. that differ, in their COI sequences, between 2.0% and 2.5%. The first clade (���clade A���) contains seven sequences (AUMIC416-18, AUMIC409-18, AUMIC080-18, AUGLY044-21, AUMIC412-18, AUMIC390-18, AUMIC389-18). Specimen AUGLY044-21 has the same wingless haplotype as the specimens in the second clade within G. doreyi sp. nov. (���clade B���) whilst the other six specimens share a wingless haplotype that differs by one base pair from that of AUGLY044-21. We have made the conservative decision to combine these two clades into a single species due to the COI divergence being borderline of what is often used in Microgastrinae, lack of clear morphological differences and the wingless haplotype of AUGLY044-21 being identical to that of the alternate clade; however, we provide images of a representative of both clades and note that future evidence (particularly host data) may end up splitting this species further. Glyptapanteles doreyi sp. nov. constitutes BIN BOLD:ABY0421 (clade B) and BOLD:AEC8663 (clade A). Using the BOLD Batch ID engine, the COI sequence of the holotype is 2.6% different from the most similar COI sequence from an Australian specimen (MCCAA7675-20; an undescribed lineage).

Remarks Glyptapanteles harveyi sp. nov. constitutes BIN: BOLD:ADL3315 and is 5.33% (p-dist.) divergent from the closet BIN in the database (BOLD:ACL9711; Glyptapanteles sp. from New Zealand). Using the BOLD Batch ID engine, the COI barcode of the holotype is 6.2% different from the most similar COI sequence from an Australian specimen (AUMIC482-18; Glyptapanteles aspersus sp. nov.). The two specimens were sequenced for the wingless gene and share a unique barcode, which differs by a minimum of 3 bp from all other species with available sequence data.

It is noted, however, that all these species are morphologically very similar; limited specimens were available for examination and identifications should be made or corroborated with DNA barcodes. Etymology This species is named for Alison Goodwin and Roger Noakes, who ran a Malaise trap on their property near Bendemeer, NSW, from which a paratype of the species originates.

Remarks The wingless barcode for this species is shared with G. doreyi sp. nov. and G. arcanus sp. nov. and differs by 1 bp from the barcodes of G. vergrandiacus sp. nov., G. doreyi sp. nov. (second haplotype) and G. lessardi sp. nov. This group of species is very closely related and would benefit from future, more detailed taxonomic work to ensure that they are not simply divergent populations of the same species. For this species hypothesis, we have made the decision to split them into different species based on the COI barcode sequences being>3% divergent; however, we note that this is a hypothesis and is open to change with future work. Glyptapanteles goodwinnoakes sp. nov. constitutes BIN BOLD:ADL3801 and is 3.69% (p-dist.) divergent from the closet BIN in the database (BOLD:AEI4383; an undescribed lineage, from Australia). Using the BOLD Batch ID engine, the COI sequence of the holotype is 6.1% different from the most similar COI sequence from an Australian specimen (AUGLY141-21; an undescribed lineage, with a single specimen). Distribution This species has a very disjunct distribution, found in northern QLD and in central NSW. This likely reflects poor sampling rather than the true species distribution., Published as part of Fagan-Jeffries, Erinn P., McCLELLAND, Alana R., Bird, Andrew J., Giannotta, Madalene M., Bradford, Tessa M. & Austin, Andrew D., 2022, Systematic revision of the parasitoid wasp genus Glyptapanteles Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Microgastrinae) for Australia results in a ten-fold increase in species, pp. 1-116 in European Journal of Taxonomy 792 (1) on pages 67-68, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2022.792.1647, http://zenodo.org/record/6037052

Glyptapanteles drioplanetus Fagan-Jeffries & Austin, 2021 Figs 15A, 31 Diagnosis Glyptapanteles drioplanetus can be separated from the other described species of Glyptapanteles in Australia by the combination of the following characters: gena without a pale spot, T1 and T2 dark, anteromesoscutum very smooth, with only shallow and regular punctures, no orange markings on the postero-lateral anteromesoscutum, propodeum very smooth with only shallow punctures and the median carina entirely absent, T1 narrowing slightly for most of length, distal ventral half of antennal scape darker than flagellomeres, hind femur pale anteriorly, darkening posteriorly, tegula pale, labrum pale.

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.

Glyptapanteles phytometrae (Wilkinson, 1928) Fig. 47C, E Diagnosis Glyptapanteles phytometrae can be separated from many of the Australian species as follows: from the G. albigena species group by having the gena without a pale spot, from the G. mouldsi and G. eburneus species groups by having T1���2 dark and from the niveus species group by having a relatively smooth anteromesoscutum. The propodeum of G. phytometrae is mostly smooth with rugose sculpturing in the centre (Fig. 47C), which is distinct (at least on the available specimens) from any of the newly described species from Australia. Whilst propodeal sculpturing can vary slightly amongst individuals, we do not consider it likely that G. phytometrae is conspecific with any of the Australian species.

Glyptapanteles fullawayi Austin & Dangerfield, 1992 Fig. 16C Diagnosis The combination of a smooth propodeum, T1���2 dark, T1 only narrowing slightly posteriorly and gena without a pale spot, allow G. fullawayi to be separated from the G. albigena, G. mouldsi, G. eburneus, G. niveus and G. arcanus species groups. Glyptapanteles fullawayi is morphologically similar (at least using the available illustrations) to the G. austini species group and to Glyptapanteles drioplanetus. Glyptapanteles fullawayi appears to have only 6���7 large pits in the scutellar sulcus (differing from the G. austini species group and from G. drioplanetus, which all have at least 8); however, this character is prone to variability.

Glyptapanteles taylori (Wilkinson, 1928) Fig. 47A���B, D Diagnosis As Austin & Dangerfield (1992) state that this species is unlikely to actually occur in the Australasian region and as we were unable to find morphological characters that definitively separate this species from all others in Australia, we do not diagnose it. There is a very low risk of this species being conspecific with any of the newly described species from Australia due to the likelihood that it does not actually occur in the region.

Glyptapanteles austini Fagan-Jeffries & Bird sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 7DAEC136-31EE-4EC2-B197-66F9B686ACEE Figs 15B, 22 Diagnosis Despite the large molecular divergence in both the COI and wingless genes (see Remarks section), the only morphological character found to differentiate G. austini sp. nov. from G. guzikae sp. nov. is the femur being completely dark (G. guzikae sp. nov. with the femur pale with a dark area posteriorly). Glyptapanteles austini sp. nov. can be separated from G. kingae sp. nov. as follows: G. kingae sp. nov. has the propodeum with stronger sculpturing in the centre, whilst G. austini sp. nov. has the propodeum smoother in the centre. However, we note that there are limited specimens available and the variability of propodeal sculpturing could broaden as more populations of these species are identified and we recommend confirming identifications with DNA barcodes.

Remarks Glyptapanteles austini sp. nov. constitutes BIN BOLD:ADL2587 and is 7.69% (p-dist.) divergent from the closet BIN in the database (BOLD:ADL2952; Glyptapanteles guzikae sp. nov.). Using the BOLD Batch ID engine, the COI barcode of the holotype is 7.9% different from the most similar COI sequence from an Australian specimen (AUMIC524-18; Glyptapanteles guzikae sp. nov.). All five paratype specimens were sequenced for the wingless gene, which is identical amongst all specimens (although there is a single ambiguity in one sequence). The wingless sequences differ by a minimum of 16 bp from all other species with available sequence data. Distribution This species is currently known from SA, from Adelaide and close surrounds.

Glyptapanteles mnesampela Austin, 2000 Figs 6A, 44 Diagnosis Glyptapanteles mnesampela is in the G. albigena species group and can be separated from the other members of the species group by having a pale T2, whilst all other described species with a pale spot on the gena have T2 dark in colouration.

Involving the community in taxonomic research has the potential to increase the awareness, appreciation and value of taxonomy in the public sphere. We report here on a trial citizen science project, Insect Investigators, which partners taxonomists with school students to monitor Malaise traps and prioritise the description of new species collected. In this initial trial, four schools in regional South Australia participated in the program and all collected new species of the braconid subfamily Microgastrinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). These four species are here described as new, with the names being chosen in collaboration with the participating school students: Choeras ramcomarmorata Fagan-Jeffries & Austin sp. nov., Glyptapanteles drioplanetus Fagan-Jeffries & Austin sp. nov., Dolichogenidea franklinharbourensis Fagan-Jeffries & Austin sp. nov. and Miropotes waikerieyeties Fagan-Jeffries & Austin sp. nov. All four species are diagnosed against the known members of the genera from Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa and Papua New Guinea, and images and COI DNA barcodes are provided of the holotypes. Students had positive feedback about their experiences of the program, and there is significant potential for it to be expanded and used as a means to connect communities with taxonomic science.

Western Australia: ♀ Gleneagle State Forest, 29/xi/2005, M.S. Harvey, M/T, Extraction 117 (WAM: WAME10965, BOLD: AUMIC019-18). Diagnosis. This species can be separated from the currently described species of Glyptapanteles from Australasia in the following ways: • From G. afiamaluanus (Fullaway, 1941), from Samoa, by the absence of a medial carina on the propodeum. • G. artonae (Rohwer, 1926) probably does not occur in the Australasian region (Austin & Dangerfield 1992), but G. drioplanetus can be separated from G. artonae by having T1 considerably more narrow. • G. aucklandensis (Cameron, 1909) was described from a single male from Auckland, NZ, and the type is missing the abdomen. The type is therefore not particularly helpful in providing diagnostic characters, however we feel comfortable determining that it is a different species to G. drioplanetus as there is generally very little overlap in the microgastrine fauna between Australian and New Zealand. • From G. deliasa (Austin & Dangerfield, 1992), from Australia, by the absence of a faint medial carina or striation on the propodeum. • From G. demeter (Wilkinson, 1934), from New Zealand, by having the mesosoma not dorsally-ventrally flattened. • From G. fullawayi Austin & Dangerfield, 1992, from Samoa, by having approximately 9–10 small pits in the scutoscutellar sulcus. • From G. mnesampela Austin, 2000, from Australia, by having T2 dark and the absence of a white gena spot. • G. phytometrae (Wilkinson, 1928). Whilst we were unable to examine the type, as this species is only recorded from Samoa, Sumatra and Fiji, we feel it is extremely unlikely to be the same species. • From G. operculinae (Fullaway, 1941), from Samoa, by having T1 narrowing posteriorly less significantly, not strongly wedge-shaped. • G. taylori (Wilkinson, 1928) probably does not occur in the Australasian region (Austin & Dangerfield 1992), but G. drioplanetus can be separated by having T2 triangular, with straight rather than curved lateral sides. Description. FEMALE. Colour. Head, antenna and mesosoma all dark; all tergites and most of metasoma including hypopygium and ovipositor sheaths dark, non sclerotised areas of T1–2 and anterior sternites pale; (fore-, mid-, hind coxa) pale, pale, dark; (fore-, mid-, hind- trochanter) pale, pale, pale with darker area distally femora (fore-, mid-, hind femur) pale, pale, pale transitioning to dark distally; tibiae (fore-, mid-, hind tibia) pale, pale darkening slightly distally, pale darkening significantly distally; tarsi (fore-, mid-, hind tarsi) light brown, light brown, dark; tegula and humeral complex pale; pterostigma uniformly dark; fore wing veins mostly dark. Body length. Head to apex of metasoma: 2.3 mm (2.4–2.8 mm). Head. Antenna approximately equal to body length; OOL/POD 1.4 (2.0); POL/ POD 2.2 (2.3); antennal flagellomere 2 length/width 2.8 (3.5–3.7); antennal flagellomere 14 length/width 1.6 (2.4). Mesosoma. Anteromesoscutum relatively smooth and shiny, very shallowly, and regularly punctate; number of pits in scutoscutellar sulcus approximately 11, but very irregular in size and definition. Scutellar disc very smooth, with only very shallow pits. Propodeum extremely smooth, no discernible sculpturing or carinae other than very shallow pits associated with scattered setae. Wings. Fore wing length 2.4 mm (2.3–2.9 mm); length of veins r/2RS 1.4 (1.1–1.4); length of veins 2RS/2M 1.3 (1.0–1.5); length of veins 2M/(RS+M)b 0.9 (1.1–1.5); pterostigma length/width 2.4 (2.3–2.5). Legs. Hind tibia inner spur length/hind basitarsus length 0.6 (0.4–0.5). Metasoma. T1 length / T1 width at posterior margin 3.0 (2.4–2.9); narrowing slightly posteriorly (in Douglass Scrub paratype nearly parallel sided) irregularly punctate in posterior half; T2 width at posterior margin / T2 length 1.7 (1.6), subtriangular, smooth in centre, border with T3 shallowly crenulate; T3 sculpture smooth and shiny with scattered setae concentrated in posterior half; ovipositor sheaths length/hind tibial length 0.16 (0.3–0.18); ovipositor gently curved. MALE. Unknown. Etymology. This species is named by the 2020 Year 5/6/7 students of Macclesfield Primary School, who agreed upon a name that means ‘bush wanderer’; drio- from the Greek ‘drios’ for copse or thicket, and planetus from the Greek verb ‘planao’: to wander. The species epithet is an adjective. Distribution. This species is currently only known from two sites in South Australia, and from a single locality in south-western WA. Host. Unknown. Molecular information. This species constitutes the BIN BOLD:ADL3660, and is 2.66% divergent from the nearest neighbour on the BOLD. Remarks. This species, when analysed alongside all available COI sequences of Glyptapanteles, Protapanteles, Sathon (Mason 1981), Lathrapanteles and Cotesia on BOLD, is closely related to species of Protapanteles, including P. alaskensis Ashmead, 1902 (Fig. 6). The morphological distinction between Glyptapanteles and Protapanteles appears to be difficult to define. According to Fernández-Triana et al. (2020), “In Glyptapanteles, T1 is either parallel-sided anteriorly and then strongly narrowing posteriorly, or its sides are gradually to strongly converging posteriorly when compared to Protapanteles which has T1 parallel-sided throughout, except for a strongly rounded apex, and propodeum sculpture that is usually, but not always, more rugose and carinated than in Glyptapanteles.” However, several species of Glyptapanteles, including the paratypes of G. drioplanetus, have T1 of similar shape to that of Protapanteles, and many of the undescribed Glyptapanteles in Australia have a rugose propodeum. As Protapanteles is currently not documented from Australia, and is mostly confined to the Holarctic region (Fernández-Triana et al. 2020), we place G. drioplanetus in Glyptapanteles, but note that it is likely closely aligned with several species of Protapanteles and may need to be reclassified when a better understanding of the generic boundaries for the Microgastrinae is developed., Published as part of Fagan-Jeffries, Erinn P., Austin, Andrew D. & Investigators, Citizen Science Participants Of Insect, 2021, Four new species of parasitoid wasp (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) described through a citizen science partnership with schools in regional South Australia, pp. 79-101 in Zootaxa 4949 (1) on pages 89-93, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4949.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/4635871, {"references":["Fullaway, D.

Occurrence of Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), commonly known as fall armyworm, in southern India is reported along with associated natural enemies. Severe damage was noticed in Chikkaballapur, Hassan, Shivamogga, Davanagere and Chitradurga during July-August 2018. The incidence ranged from 9.0 to 62.5 percent at various locations, maximum incidence was recorded in Hassan district followed by Chikkaballapur, Davanagere, Shivamogga and Chitradurga. Morphology and molecular based taxonomic tools were used for the identification of this pest. The GenBank accession number MH704433 of Chikkaballapur population was released on 1 st August, 2018 and Barcode obtained from BOLD System-ID: AGIMP054-18. The survey also revealed natural parasitism by egg parasitoids viz., Telenomus sp. (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) and Trichogramma sp. (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae), gregarious larval parasitoid, Glyptapanteles creatonoti (Viereck) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) solitary larval parasitoid, Campoletis chlorideae Uchida (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), and a solitary indeterminate larval-pupal (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Ichneumoninae) parasitoid. Spodoptera frugiperda is the first host record for G. creatonoti across the globe. Glyptapanteles creatonoti , being a well established parasitoid of various noctuids in India and Malaysia, was capable of parasitizing S. frugiperda . Besides these, other commonly found bioagents viz., Forficula sp. (Dermaptera: Forficulidae) and entomopathogenic fungus Nomuraea rileyi (Farl.) Samson was also collected in large numbers. We report the natural enemy complex of S. frugiperda for the first time from India. The electro physiological response of Indian population of S. frugiperda male adults to pheromone was established. The studies to manage this pest by any/all means are in progress.

Ten new species within four genera of Microgastrinae parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) are described from Canada and United States: Diolcogaster ichiroi, Diolcogaster miamensis, Glyptapanteles pseudotsugae, Microgaster archboldensis, Microgaster syntopic, Microplitis altissimus, Microplitis jorgeluisi, Microplitis juanmanueli, Microplitis julioalbertoi, and Microplitis mariamargaritae. The new taxa are significant because they represent the first North American records of a tropical group (species of the basimacula group in Diolcogaster), exemplify interesting ecological cases (niche-based host selection in Glyptapanteles, syntopic species in Microgaster), and showcase unique morphological features and/or altitudinal records (Microplitis). Most of the new species were collected in protected areas or areas with strong research programs (Archbold Biological Station and hammock forests near Miami, Florida; Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, and Mount Evans Wilderness Area, Colorado; Sapelo Island, Georgia; Tonto National Forest, Arizona), and thus are also of value and interest for conservation and research efforts.

Legs (Fig. 202A, F). Ventral margin of fore telotarsus entire without seta, fore telotarsus almost same width throughout and longer than fourth tarsomere (0.10, 0.06). Medially hind coxa smooth, dorsally with scattered punctation and ventrally with dense punctation, dorsal outer depression present. Inner spur of hind tibia longer than outer spur (0.23, 0.17), entire surface of hind tibia with dense strong spines clearly differentiated by color and length. Hind telotarsus as equal in length as fourth tarsomere (0.11, 0.11). Wings (Fig. 202D). Fore wing with r vein curved; 2RS vein slightly concave; r and 2RS veins forming a weak, even curve at their junction and outer side of junction not forming a stub; 2M vein slightly curved/swollen; distally fore wing [where spectral veins are] with microtrichiae more densely concentrated than the rest of the wing; anal cell 1/3 proximally lacking microtrichiae; subbasal cell with a small smooth area; vein 2CUa absent and vein 2CUb spectral; vein 2 cu-a absent; vein 2-1A proximally tubular and distally spectral, although sometimes difficult to see; tubular vein 1 cu-a curved and complete, but junction with 1-1A vein spectral. Hind wing with vannal lobe narrow, subdistally and subproximally straightened, and setae evenly scattered in the margin. Metasoma (Fig. 202A, F). Metasoma laterally compressed. Petiole on T1 finely sculptured only distally, evenly narrowing distally (length 0.31, maximum width 0.15, minimum width 0.04) and with scattered pubescence concentrated in the first distal third. Lateral grooves delimiting the median area on T2 clearly defined and reaching the distal edge of T2 (length median area 0.11, length T2 0.11), edges of median area polished and lateral grooves deep, median area broader than long (length 0.11, maximum width 0.14, minimum width 0.04); T2 with scattered pubescence only distally. T3 longer than T2 (0.19, 0.11) and with scattered pubescence throughout. Pubescence on hypopygium dense. Cocoons. Unknown. Comments. The sculpture on body are dense (Fig. 201A, F), the hind coxae is stout, and both sexes with stout and short bodies. Female (Fig. 201 A–J). The metasoma is missing in the only preserved female; however, there is a photographic record. In female, the distal corners of mesoscutum are yellow-brown/reddish. Etymology. Shelby E. Stedenfeld as graduate student at the Kentucky University, Lexington, KY, USA, was interested in the taxonomy and systematics of Ichneumonidae and their roles in biological control. Distribution. The adult parasitoids were collected in Costa Rica, ACG, Sector Santa Rosa (Bosque Humedo and Bosque San Emilio), during May 1999, March-May 2000, and June 2007 at 290 m in dry forest. Biology.
