Keyed out another #DarwinWasp (#Ichneumonidae, first image) as the fourth obvious species from the genus #Anacis so far found in my garden in #Canberra, #Australia. None of these species is named. Images here of all four females (males are different and will need DNA to match up).

Gauld 1984, The Incheumonidae of Australia (the last major work on the fauna here) lists the one named species of Anacis and adds "I have seen 55 undescribed species."

I ran a #Malaise trap run in my garden for two years (2020-10-23 to 2022-10-28). The first year's samples went to the Centre for Biodiversity Genomics in Guelph, ON for DNA barcoding. In the second year, I've been focused mostly on #Ichneumonidae and other parasitic wasps. #entomology

Three insects from 12-19 Aug 2022: #Acanthobetyla cerbera (#Diapriidae, 2 images), #Elateridae sp. and probably #Anacis sp. (#Ichneumonidae).
