Galeopsomyia glypta Perioto, Costa & Lara 2011:165-166 . Holotype ♀ (MZSP). Brazil. Not examined.

Description. See Perioto et al. (2011).

Distribution. Brazil ( 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.
