Popis:	Morphometric studies of allopatric populations of theCotesia flavipesspecies complex representing three putative species;C. flavipesCameron,C. sesamiae(Cameron) andC. chilonis(Matsumura), were conducted. Sixteen characters were measured. Principal component analysis separated the complex into three somewhat overlapping groups that corresponded well with previous concepts of the species. Canonical variate analysis separated the complex into three distinct clusters with populations from Africa together, populations from Asia and the Neotropics forming a second cluster, and material from China and Japan forming a third cluster. The Mahalanobis squared distances between the three clusters were nearly equal. Results support recognition of three species in theC. flavipescomplex.
