A number of morphological features mark it as unique among Microgastrinae, the most striking being the males and females having different numbers of antennal flagellomeres (females 17, males 18). Other unusual characters suggest this may be the most early-diverging extant species of the subfamily, although comprehensive phylogenetic analyses have yet to be conducted. Nothing is yet known about its host(s) or other aspects of its biology.10aantennae10aBraconidae10aHymenoptera10aMicrogastrinae10aNew Zealand10asexual dimorphism1 aFernandez-Triana, J.L.1 aWard, DF1 aWhitfield, J.B.  uhttp://seag-insectes.com/en/content/kiwigaster-gen-novhymenoptera-braconidae-new-zealand-first-microgastrinae-sexual-dimorphism-
