Paratypes: AUSTRALIA: 3♀, 4♂, with same label data as holotype (2♀, 3♂, ANIC; 1♀, 1♂ RMNH); 22 ♀, 6 ♂, “Ludlow, WA, 6 Jan. 1987, G. Tribe, ex cocoon under bark of E [ucalyptus]. rudis ” (16♀, 4♂, ANIC; 6♀, 2♂, RMNH); 1♀, “NE section of Yarratt State Forest, NE. [of] Wingham, 23 Feb. 1982, G. & T. Williams, at U/V light”, “in dry sclerophyll forest” (AMS); 1♀, CSIRO Exp. Fm, Witton, NSW, 4:1:1969, V.J. Robinson” (AMS); 11♀, 3♂, “Canberra, ACT, 16 Feb. 1960, E.F.

Female. Body length 6.9 mm, fore wing length 6.6 mm.

Antennae with 46–57 flagellomeres (even among females from the same series as the holotype, flagellar segment numbers were broadly spread across this range). Palpi of male vesiculate, of female somewhat widened. Median carina of propodeum distinct. Fore wing vein 1cu-a postfurcal, vein 2-CU1 less curved than in T. prestonae. Tarsal claws with large, pointed, black basal lobes.

Etymology. Named after the William Bryson, author of “Down Under” about a trip through Australia as well as many other entertaining works.

Biology. The two series of reared specimens and their data would seem to suggest that they are gregarious parasitoids, though there were no associated host remains with them.
