Diagnosis
Cotesia kazak can be separated from all other species of Cotesia currently described from Australia and Papua New Guinea by the following combination of characters: anteromesoscutum punctulate, smoother than most species; T3 densely setose; fore wing 2RS not creating a ‘stub’ at junction with r; T1 parallel sided.
