Habronyx minutus is a species of small parasitic wasp in the subfamily Anomaloninae of family Ichneumonidae. It has a length of 5.5 to 8 millimetres (0.22 to 0.31 in). The species was described by D. F. Ward in 2015, and the holotype was collected in December 1980 at Pelorus Bridge.
Habronyx minutus has a total length of 5.5 to 8 millimetres (0.22 to 0.31 in) with a 3.8 to 5.8 millimetres (0.15 to 0.23 in)–long fore wing.[1] Male antennae contain 30 to 31 flagellomeres; female antennae have between 26 and 30 flagellomeres.[1] The flagellomeres and scape are brown.[2] A tooth is positioned at the apex of the clypeus, and the species has tooth–like mandibles.[1] Its epomiae are long and the species lacks a sternaulus.[3] The fore legs are yellow and the hind legs are red–brown in colour.[2] The mesoscuta and scutella are red–brown.[2] The species' body and head contain short setae, and it has short claws at the tarsus. Colouration varies within specimens; more red–brown examples contain more black markings than yellow specimens. The face of Habronyx minutus is between red–brown and light yellow.[2]
