Pantolytomyia insularis is a species of diapriid wasp, and was first described in 1988 by the Australian entomologist, Ian D. Naumann.[1][2]
This wasp is endemic to New Zealand,[3] and like all Diapriidae is parasitic.[3]
The type specimens were collected from litter on Big South Cape Island, Codfish Island, and Ulva Island.[2] (Hence the species epithet, insularis from the Latin insula ("island"), referring to the type locality).[2]
