Description
Summary:Encyrtidae and Mymaridae of India have not been surveyed in depth and hosts are not known for most of the species as the methods of collections used are passive and do not yield firsthand information on the hosts. Based on our ongoing surveys on the Encyrtidae and Mymaridae of India, we report here new distribution and host records for some species. Acmopolynemacampylurum Xu and Lin, Lituscynipseus Haliday, Omyomymarglabrum Lin and Chiappini and Platystethynium Ogloblin (Mymaridae), and Rhytidothoraxpurpureiscutellum (Girault) (Encyrtidae) are reported for the first time from India. Anagyrusaquilonaris (Noyes and Hayat) is recorded as new to Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya. Paraphaenodiscusindicus Singh and Agarwal and Paraphaenodiscusmonawari Bhuiya are recorded from south India for the first time, the latter on a new host, Pulvinariapolygonata. Chorizococcussorghi Williams (Pseudococcidae) is reported as a host for Cryptanusiaajmerensis (Fatma & Shafee), for which no hosts are hitherto known and the male of Cryptanusia is documented for the first time. Aclerda sp. is recorded as a new host for Neastymachusaxillaris Singh, Agarwal and Basha.
