The epithet should be treated as an adjective and is formed from the Latin ‘ alatus’ (furnished with wings) and ‘ micans’ (twinkling) and the wasp was affectionately given the nickname “ Mr Twinkle Wings ” in the taxonomy workshop. In the words of the class teacher, Peter Spencer: “ The reason for naming refers to the beauty of the wasp and the shiny / twinkle of its wings particularly, and the fact the students also believe it is found in a place representing Australian beauty – the outback. ”</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Apanteles alatomicans is known from multiple locations in eastern QLD.</p><p>Molecular information.</p><p>Sequences of Apanteles alatomicans currently form BIN BOLD: ADL 2797.

The phylogenetic position of the species is unresolved, falling outside the main Apanteles clade in the concatenated analysis of COI and wg of Australian species (Fig. 2). However, in the tree of global Apanteles COI sequences, the sequences cluster within the larger clade that contains many Australian species.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>This species is potentially better placed in Parapanteles because of the short ovipositor sheaths and the comparatively solid hypopygium without ventral pleats. However, Parapanteles is currently poorly defined and until a more conclusive revision of the genus is completed, we feel it is more useful to place A. apollo in Apanteles because of the molecular data clustering it with morphologically ‘ true’ Apanteles .

The Latin noun means ‘ copper’ (the metal) and the students chose the name to relate to the rich copper resources found in the Mount Molloy region. Whilst the species is found in many places without copper mining, we think this name is also apt because of the more coppery colour of this species compared to many others in the genus.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Apanteles cuprum is found in the north of Australia (northern NT, QLD, WA) and also in Fiji.</p><p>Molecular information.</p><p>Apanteles cuprum is currently represented by sequences in BIN BOLD: AAM 7397. The COI sequences are at least 6 % divergent from any of the other species treated here, or any available sequence on BOLD.

The students named the species for a fictional character from the Star Wars space opera franchise, “ because this mean little wasp is from the dark side like Darth Vader, because it sucks the life out of the caterpillars. ” The species epithet is a noun in the genitive case.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Apanteles darthvaderi is currently known from along the east coast of Australia, from as far north as Townsville, as far south as Wonboyn, and as far inland as Canberra.</p><p>Molecular information.</p><p>Apanteles darthvaderi contains a single BIN (BOLD: AAU 8286). The COI sequences are at least 8 % divergent from any of the other species treated here, or any available sequence on BOLD. The species contains a single wg haplotype which is ≥ 3 bp different to any other species. We consider A. darthvaderi a well-supported species, with 5 / 7 congruent molecular delimitation methods. PTP and ASAP using wg grouped the species with A. auroralis, but as there are clear morphological differences ( A. darthvaderi has the metafemur dark, A. auroralis has the metafemur completely pale), we believe these methods were too conservative in this case.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Apanteles darthvaderi closely resembles A. persephone and runs to the same couplet in the key if A. persephone is treated as having the metatibia mostly dark. We do not have a strong morphological character to separate these species, but also hesitate to identify the specimens here as A. persephone . Apanteles persephone was described from two specimens collected from near Perth in Western Australia, whilst A. darthvaderi is only currently known from the east coast. We have decided to describe A. darthvaderi as new based on this geographic disparity, but note that DNA sequencing of the type material of A. persephone, or at minimum sequencing a matching specimen from near the type locality, would resolve these two species more confidently.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/129ACB0574315BDF9F49B73328B76230	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(2020) for full list of synonyms and additional information, including discussions on the limits of the genus in a global context, and for a world checklist of species. We do not alter the diagnosis of Apanteles given in Fernández-Triana et al. (2020), which is as follows: Apanteles can be recognised by the propodeum usually fully to partially areolated, rarely smooth and never with a median longitudinal carina; fore wing without an areolet; hind wing with the vannal lobe usually strongly concave or straight; ovipositor sheaths relatively long (however, a few species, including some described in this paper, have the sheaths much shorter); and the hypopygium almost always flexible and pleated (with rare exceptions, including two species described here).</p><p>Species with longer ovipositor sheaths can often be misidentified as Dolichogenidea, especially if the vannal lobe setosity is difficult to assess (i. e., depending on how setae are distributed and its length, at times this character cannot be interpreted unambiguously); however, Apanteles is very distinct from this genus using molecular data. Species of Apanteles with short ovipositor sheaths and an inflexible hypopygium could be confused with Parapanteles or Pholetesor, and it is possible that they may actually belong in these genera. However, because the limits of both Parapanteles and Pholetesor are not well defined, and the species cluster closely with Apanteles in the phylogenies, we here choose to place these species in Apanteles and highlight them as candidates for future phylogenomic work revising the relationships within Microgastrinae .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9DC9D6168DF25F77AF6A73EEB6112AAC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, A. hades can be separated from the other described species of Apanteles known from Australia that have a dark metacoxa and metafemur, pterostigma without a pale centre, ovipositor sheaths approximately the same length as the metatibia, and antennae of similar length to the length of the body, by having the metatibia with a very pale (almost white) discrete band in the proximal 1 / 3 and otherwise dark and with infuscation on fore wing which is restricted to area around veins r and 1 CUb.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The species epithet references Hades, the god of the Underworld in ancient Greek mythology, and was inspired by the morphological similarity of this species (amongst others) to A. persephone Nixon; Persephone was Queen of the Underworld and Hades’ spouse.

The sequences in different BINs are up to 4.5 % divergent, which is irregularly high for intraspecific divergence in microgastrines. However, the wg sequences of individuals in the two BINs are identical to each other, and at least 3 bp different to other species. COI ASAP and wg PTP delimitation analyses resolved A. hades as a discrete species, COI PTP split the species into two (following the BINs / 2 % divergence grouping), whilst wg ASAP grouped the species with A. alatomicans . Apanteles hades is therefore not a well resolved species, however we have taken the balanced approach to split it from A. alatomicans but retain individuals from both BINs listed above in a single species because of the identical nuclear gene, despite the large divergence in COI. More data, including host information or further genetics, may resolve this species more clearly.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/6B5B68F5762C548A9F2D904D54B9D600	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It can be distinguished from other species with a dark metacoxa and pale trochanter by the T 2 entirely sculptured with strong longitudinal striae, the T 1 slightly widening on posterior 1 / 2 and entirely and coarsely sculptured, and propodeum mostly smooth but with complete and strong lateral carinae.</p><p>Notes.</p><p>The record of A. hemara occurring in Australia comes from the original description of Nixon (1965) where he lists a specimen from the “ F. C. T. [ACT] ”. However, we have not located or examined the specimen, which we assume would be located in the NHM or potentially ANIC. Regardless, we did not collect any conspecific specimens in Australia during this study. Apanteles hemara is reported to parasitise several species of moths in the families Choreutidae and Crambidae, including species which occur in Australia.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/608D43CADF655EAFB77AB8C72BBF5147	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The COI sequences are at least 5 % divergent from any of the other species treated here, or any available sequence on BOLD. The wg sequence of paratype AUMIC 439-1 (no wg available for the holotype) is at least 3 bp different to any other species. The molecular delimitation of this species is poorly resolved, with COI divergence &lt;2 %, and the sequences of both the QLD and ACT material group in a single BIN. However, COI ASAP groups the species with A. magicus, COI PTP splits one sequence (not examined material, a sequence on BOLD from QLD) from the other A. lamingtonensis material, there are two wg haplotypes 5 bp different that match the wg PTP split (split between QLD and ACT individuals), and the wg ASAP analysis groups the species with A. ferripulvis . In short, molecular delimitation failed to reach any sort of concordance.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>It is important to note that the individuals from the ACT are much darker (the classic black / dark brown colouration found in most Australian Apanteles) than the holotype, the antennae are uniformly dark brown, and they have less infuscation on the membrane (so that they become difficult to separate from the wing infuscation of species like A. alatomicans). There is also slight variation in the rugosity of the propodeum, with the ACT specimens with more rugose sculpturing on the anterior 1 / 2 of the propodeum. With the incongruence of the molecular delimitation, including the wg barcodes being 5 bp different to the individuals from Lamington NP (the type locality) it is very possible that the ACT specimens are actually a different species. For now, we assign the ACT material to A. lamingtonensis but do not include them in the type series, and hope that greater sampling effort can help better define the species boundaries.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1CDE045EB5B05E918A15E2093BFEE586	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The epithet is a noun in apposition.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Apanteles ligdus is currently only known from one collection event in northern QLD, from two different host individuals of Ogyris iphis on Dendrophthoe sp.</p><p>Molecular information.</p><p>The two sequences of A. ligdus are currently in BIN BOLD: AFF 1514. The COI sequences are at least 2.4 % divergent from any of the other species treated here, or any available sequence on BOLD. The wg sequence of the holotype is ≥ 1 bp different to A. ethanbeaveri, and ≥ 10 bp different to any other species. The molecular delimitation of this species relative to A. ethanbeaveri is poorly resolved: BINs, a 2 % threshold, COI PTP and the wg haplotypes split the two species, COI ASAP and wg ASAP and wg PTP grouped the two species together.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>The collectors who reared the type series are professional lepidopterists, and therefore the host records of this species should be treated with reasonable confidence. The species is closely related to A. ethanbeaveri and may potentially be conspecific. We feel the available evidence at present supports considering them as being distinct species (multiple subtle morphological differences,&gt; 2 % COI divergence, wg barcodes 1 bp different, non-overlapping host species) but a larger sample size and further study may change this species hypothesis.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2D4EF4E9A85D58C5A25D30C7D3F3F82B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Apanteles magicus can be difficult to morphologically diagnose against A. hades and A. alatomicans, and some specimens lack the infuscation in the fore wing. This species is morphologically not particularly distinct, and ideally identification should be confirmed with molecular data.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>This species name is inspired by EPFJ’s husband, Rob Ellinger, who helped collect one of the specimens during a suburban walk during COVID lockdowns in South Australia. The epithet magicus is the Latin adjective for magical and relates to R. Ellinger’s profession as a magician. The name is also fitting for this species because of its seemingly magical distribution and common collection yet complete lack of reared records and host data ... and perhaps, like a magic trick, the species is not all that it seems as suggested by the complex molecular delimitation and potential for cryptic species.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Apanteles magicus is a very broadly distributed species throughout Australia that appears to be found in an incredibly wide range of habitats.</p><p>Molecular information.</p><p>The specimens assigned to Apanteles magicus are currently spread across five BINs on BOLD: BOLD: ADG 0556, BOLD: ADY 2399, BOLD: ADW 8360, BOLD: ADL 5561, BOLD: ADG 0556, and BOLD: ADL 5484. Despite this, there is only a maximum of 2.6 % divergence among the COI barcodes of the species, and&gt; 6 % divergence to any other species included in the analysis. There are three wg haplotypes currently assigned to the species, up to 3 bp difference among them.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>This species appears to be highly variable, with multiple COI and wg haplotypes and variation amongst paratypes in morphological characters such as the wing infuscation and hind tibia colouration. It is also one of the most commonly collected and widely distributed species of Apanteles in Australia, and would be a good candidate for intensive research to establish the species boundaries more definitively.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/5A0F58D70E405170A490E00B390E69AE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
