Parabetyla pipira is a species of diapriid wasp, and was first described in 1988 by the Australian entomologist, Ian D. Naumann.[1][2] The species epithet, pipiri (Māori "to cling together"), 'refers to the mutual proximity of the propodeal spines'.[2] The specimens described were female only and were collected from moss and litter at altitudes between 427 m and 1250 m.[2]
This wasp is endemic to New Zealand,[3] and like all Diapriidae is parasitic.[3]
