The genus Dipara Walker belongs to the subfamily Diparinae of Pt e romalidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) and is known for 42 described species throughout the world with eleven species known from the Oriental Region (Noyes, 2003). Desjardins (2007) attempted the phylogenetics and reclassification of world Diparinae in which he synonymised ten genera under Dipara based on phylogenetic analysis. Taxonomic studies on Dipara from the Oriental region were attempted by Narendran et al, 2000, Narendran & Mini, 2000, Narendran & Sureshan, 2001, Sureshan & Narendran 2004, 2005, Xiao & Huang, 1999 and Huang & Xiao, 2005.

Abstract


The genus Dipara Walker belongs to the subfamily Diparinae of Pt e romalidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) and is known for 42 described species throughout the world with eleven species known from the Oriental Region (Noyes, 2003). Desjardins (2007) attempted the phylogenetics and reclassification of world Diparinae in which he synonymised ten genera under Dipara based on phylogenetic analysis. Taxonomic studies on Dipara from the Oriental region were attempted by Narendran et al, 2000, Narendran & Mini, 2000, Narendran & Sureshan, 2001, Sureshan & Narendran 2004, 2005, Xiao & Huang, 1999 and Huang & Xiao, 2005.
