Eight new species of xanthic Telenominae Thomson, 1860 (Platygastroidea, Scelionidae) from India

Abstract

Eight new xanthic species of Telenominae Thomson, 1860-six new species of Phanuromyia Dodd, 1914 and two new species of Telenomus Haliday, 1833-are described from India. The new species are P. flaviabdominalis n. sp., P. levigatus n. sp., P. reticulata n. sp., P. rufocoxalis n. sp., P. shashikalae n. sp., P. tamaris n. sp., T. ekadanta n. sp. and T. elegans n. sp. This is the first time that xanthic Phanuromyia are being described from the Oriental region. A key for Indian species is given. rÉsUMÉ Huit nouvelles espèces de Telenominae xanthiques (Platygastroidea, Scelionidae) de l'Inde.

Phanuromyia ricaniae Nam, Lee & Talamas sp. n. (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) reared from the eggs of Ricania shantungensis Chou & Lu (Hemiptera: Ricaniidae) in Asia

“…Diagnosis. In the absence of a large-scale revision of Asian Phanuromyia, we compared P. ricaniae to the images of Phanuromyia species presented in Veenakumari & Mohanraj (2014) and Veenakumari & Mohanraj (2019), the description of P. bidentata by Johnson & Musetti (2003), and holotype images of three other Asian species: P. flaviventris (Kozlov & Kononova) (Figs 19-21), P. nioba (Kozlov & Kononova) (Figs 22-25), and P. marshakovi (Kozlov & Kononova) (Figs 26-29). Among these, P. ricaniae is most similar to P. andamanensis and P. nabakovi Veenakumari, which share a similar pattern of mesosomal sulci, coloration, and surface sculpture .…”
