Description

Glyptapanteles albigena species group

The G. albigena species group is easily separated from the other species of Glyptapanteles in Australasia by the gena having a pale spot. This pale spot varies from barely visible (e.g., G. harveyi sp. nov.), to a large area covering at least a third of the gena height (e.g., G. albigena sp. nov.). This species group contains nine species: G. albigena Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov., G. andamookaensis Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov., G. aspersus Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov., G. austrinus Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov. sp. nov., G. ferrugineus Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov., G. harveyi Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov., G. kittelae Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov., G. mnesampela Austin, 2000 and G. sanniopolus Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov. The species group, as currently known, has a broad distribution across the southern half of Australia (Fig. 4A).
