Description. See Perioto et al. (2011).

Hosts. Reared from cocoons of Glyptapanteles sp. parasitizing Thyrinteina arnobia ( Lepidoptera: Geometridae) larvae on eucalyptus leaves.

Comments. This is not a species of Galeopsomyia . It lacks the features on the head mentioned in the diagnosis for Galeopsomyia above, and the host does not fit the biology for Galeopsomyia, which is an association with galls and gall-makers. The actual genus association is difficult to ascertain. It does not fit in any of the described genera of Tetrastichinae, and furthermore the phylogeny and classification of this subfamily in the Neotropical region are poorly understood.
