Glyptapanteles eburneus species group

The G. eburneus species group currently contains only two closely related species, G. eburneus Fagan- Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov. and G. foraminous Fagan-Jeffries, Bird & Austin sp. nov. which are differentiated from all other species of Glyptapanteles in Australia by having the gena without a pale spot, T1 completely pale, hind coxa pale, deep punctures on the anteromesoscutum and a clear median carina on the propodeum. This species group is known from two single localities on the east coast of Australia, in QLD and NSW ( Fig. 4D ).
