Diagnosis. Apanteles galleriae can be separated from the other species of Apanteles known from Australia that have a dark metacoxa and metafemur, and the pterostigma without a pale centre and the ovipositor sheath length> 0.6 × metatibia length by having the antennae significantly shorter (~ 0.6–0.7 ×) than body length and T 3 with multiple rows of setae. Figure 38. Apanteles galleriae A lateral habitus (France – CNC 497178) B dorsal mesosoma and metasoma (France – CNC 497178) C lateral habitus (India – WINC ). Notes. Apanteles galleriae is a parasitoid of several species of wax moths ( Pyralidae ) associated with honey bees ( Fernández-Triana et al. 2014 ) and the species is found in numerous countries around the world ( Fernández-Triana et al. 2020 ). Whilst the species definitely occurs in New Zealand , confirmed by DNA barcoding (e. g., BOLD Process ID: NZMG 202-11 ), we have not confirmed the presence of the species in Australia during this study. The record of A. galleriae occurring in Australia is from Austin and Dangerfield (1992) , but we have not been able to trace that record to the corresponding literature or specimens.
