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.

Material examined

No specimens examined; illustrations and redescription in Austin & Dangerfield (1992) used as reference (Fig. 16D).

Distribution

American Samoa, Western Samoa.
