Diagnosis.

Separated from G. brasiliensis by the completely smooth lateral aspect of the scutellum (Fig. 3 E View Figure 3 ). Separated from G. lupini by the less-developed ovipositor clip that does not extend past the midwidth of the ovipositor valve (Fig. 4 B, E View Figure 4 ). In G. lupini the ovipositor clip expands across more than half the width of the ovipositor valve (Fig. 4 C View Figure 4 ).

Description.

As in description for G. brasiliensis species complex, but with the lateral aspect of scutellum completely smooth; ovipositor clip reduced, not extending beyond the halfway point across the fused ovipositor valve. Previous studies referencing ‘ Gb G 1 ’ or ‘ G 1 ’ refer to this species ( Nomano et al. 2017; Giorgini et al. 2018; Abram et al. 2022).

Etymology.

Named in honor of Prof. Kimura (Hokkaido University, retired) and Dr Kim Hoelmer ( USDA-ARS, retired). The name is a combination of Kimura and Kim Hoelmer.

Biology.

Koinobiont endoparasitoid of Drosophila suzukii ( Nomano et al. 2017; Girod et al. 2018 b; Wang et al. 2018; Seehausen et al. 2020; Daane et al. 2021). Seehausen et al. (2020) found ‘ Ganaspis cf. brasiliensis ’ G 1 could successfully parasitize D. melanogaster in lab culture.
