The mymarid genus Callodicopus Ogloblin and the species Mymar pulchellum Curtis are reported for the first time from India. New distribution records of Encyrtidae (20 species in 15 genera), Mymaridae (22 species in 13 genera), and Aphelinidae (six species in four genera) and Mymarommatidae (one species belonging to the genus Mymaromma Girault) are reported from Port Blair and Diglipore districts of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Abstract


The mymarid genus Callodicopus Ogloblin and the species Mymar pulchellum Curtis are reported for the first time from India. New distribution records of Encyrtidae (20 species in 15 genera), Mymaridae (22 species in 13 genera), and Aphelinidae (six species in four genera) and Mymarommatidae (one species belonging to the genus Mymaromma Girault) are reported from Port Blair and Diglipore districts of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
