Pantolytomyia takere is a species of diapriid wasp, and was first described in 1988 by the Australian entomologist, Ian D. Naumann.[1][2] The species epithet, takere, is Maori, and means "chief man".[2]

This wasp is endemic to New Zealand,[3] and like all Diapriidae is parasitic.[3]

The holotype (female) was swept from ferns in podocarp, broadleaf forest on the Lake Wombat Track in Westland National Park.[2]
