Popis: Glyptapanteles deliasa Austin & Dangerfield, 1992 Figs 13A, 27 Diagnosis Glyptapanteles deliasa can be separated from the other described species of Glyptapanteles in Australia by the combination of the following characters: gena without a pale spot, T1 and T2 dark, anteromesoscutum very smooth, with only shallow and regular punctures, no orange markings on the postero-lateral anteromesoscutum, propodeum very smooth with only shallow punctures and the median carina faintly indicated, T1 parallel-sided for most of length, only narrowing/curving inwards right at boundary with T3, ventral side of antennal scape (at least in distal half) darker than flagellomeres, tegula dark. Material examined Paratypes AUSTRALIA ��� 2 ♀♀; South Australia, Waikerie; 22 Jun. 1988; M.D. Moore leg.; ex Delias aganippe (Donovan) (Pieridae); WINC. Remarks There is a possibility that this species is conspecific with Cotesia deliadis (Bingham, 1906), as it is morphologically very similar and parasitises the same host. However, several attempts to extract DNA from paratype specimens to either confirm or refute this hypothesis have been unsuccessful. As such, we leave it within the genus Glyptapanteles until next-generation sequencing techniques can be used on the type series. Distribution Known from Australia, currently only from SA.
