Telenomus acares

Telenomus acares is species of parasitoid wasp in the subfamily, Telenominae, of the family Scelionidae. It was first described in 1913 as Neotelenomus minimus by Alan Parkhurst Dodd, but in 1984, when it was deemed by N.F. Johnson to belong to the genus, Telenomus, it required a new epithet and was renamed Telenomus acares.

The holotype was collected in Gordonvale, Queensland.
