Treatment

Glyptapanteles taylori ( Wilkinson, 1928)

Fig. 47A–B, D View Fig

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.

Material examined

Holotype JAVA • ♀; “ Java 1926 T.N.C. Taylor ”; “Pres. by Imp. Bur. Ent. Brit. Mus. 1928-318”; NHMUK: 3.c.1018 (only images examined).

Distribution (in the Australasian region)

Fiji (likely erroneous record), introduced.
