Apanteles moerens Nixon, 1965: 145 (original description).

Holotype.

♀ in BMNH (examined). BRAZIL, Nova Teutonia, 27°11'S, 52°23'W, 16.ix.1935, Fritz Plaumann, B.M. Type HYM. 3c.1483.

Diagnosis.

It belongs to the annulicornis species-group, and can be separated from other species within that group based on head entirely yellow-orange, coloration of mesosoma and metasoma, and shape of T1 and T2.

Comments.

Only the holotype specimen is known. Based on examination of the fore wing venation, propodeum median carina, mediotergites, hypopygium, ovipositor and ovipositor sheaths, this species clearly belongs to Pseudapanteles .
