New species and additional evidence of aphid parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) from India

摘要

A survey was carried out on Aphidiinae of India. Fifteen species belonging to nine genera were identified, of which Aphid-ins bifurcatus Rakhshani & Tomanovic and Ephedrus longiarticulatus Rakhshani & Tomanovic are newly described and illustrated. Aphidius funebris Mackauer was recorded for the first time from India. A brief taxonomic note with regard to the morphological variability of diagnostic characters as well as comments on geographical distribution are presented.
