New Sierola Cameron, 1881 (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae) from Norfolk and Phillip Islands

“…The bethylid wasp genus Sierola Cameron, 1881 is poorly known outside of Hawaii, but a large number of species are found across the Pacific on nearly every high island group, including the Society Islands, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, and the Marianas. Aside from a handful from the Marquesas (Fullaway 1934) and New Zealand (Magnacca 2019; Ward 2013), these remain undescribed. Australia also has five described species (Ashmead 1901; Gordh 1998; Magnacca 2019; Turner 1915), but at least 150 undescribed species have been found (unpublished data), and the full number is likely to exceed 300.…”

This genus is very similar to Goniozus Förster, 1856 in having suture of metapectal-propodeal disc and dentate process of mesopectus absent, but can be distinguished from the latter by having 2R1 2 c of forewing closed.…”
