Stentorceps weedlei is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Figitidae found in Madagascar.
Taxonomy
The species was described by M. Nielsen and M.L. Buffington in 2011 as part of a revision of the genus Stentorceps.[1]
Within the genus, S. weedlei is most similar to S. zuparkoi but can be distinguished by the presence of a small spine immediately dorsal to the medial protuberance of the clypeus, and by its broad pyriform protuberances (vs. thin in S. zuparkoi).[1]
