Parabetyla pokorua is a species of diapriid wasp, and was first described in 1988 by the Australian entomologist, Ian D. Naumann.[1][2] The species epithet, pokorua (Maori, `ant') "refers to the ant-like appearance of the female."[2] The type specimens were collected at Jackson River, Gilbert Island, by sweeping leaf litter in Nothofagus menziesii forest; at altitudes between 30 m and 670 m.[2]
This wasp is endemic to New Zealand,[3] and like all Diapriidae is parasitic.[3]
