  abstract = {{I}t has been proven that {D}iachasmimorpha longicaudata consists of three sibling species ({A}, {B}, and {BB}) exhibiting strong shape differences as based on their wing venation geometry. {W}e used these differences to classify specimens collected from different parts of {T}hailand. {T}hus, 414 adult {D}. longicaudata (206 males and 208 females) were collected from 10 provinces in {T}hailand, mounted under transparent tape in the field and submitted to individual morphometric identification. {T}o perform such identification, the shape of the right wing of each individual was compared to the average shape of wings from old laboratory colonies corresponding to each species and assigned to the closest one. {S}ince this process made the identification depending on the choice of the reference groups, we performed several tests modifying the reference groups. {T}he modifications applied to the reference groups were the mounting technique, the sex, and the number of generations spent in the laboratory. {A}lthough liable to modify the size, and to some extent the shape, of the wings used as a reference, these various effects could not impair the classification. {T}hus, for species recognition within the {D}. longicaudata complex, the individual morphometric identification appears as a reliable technique, not or poorly influenced by the mounting technique, by the sex or by our laboratory conditions. {A}ccording to this classification, and as previously observed in {T}hailand, species {A} was the most abundant and widely distributed one (eight provinces), followed by the {B} species found in six provinces. {T}he less abundant {BB} species was more frequent in the southern part of the country.},
