Parabetyla nauhea is a species of diapriid wasp, and was first described in 1988 by the Australian entomologist, Ian D. Naumann.[1][2] The species epithet, nauhea is a Māori word meaning "rascal".[2] The type specimens (female only) were collected on both the North & South Islands from moss and ferns in Nothofagus menziesii and podocarp broadleaf forests, at altitudes between 20 m and 1250 m.[2]
This wasp is endemic to New Zealand,[3] and like all Diapriidae is parasitic.[3]
