Two new species of Baryconus Forster (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) with a key to Indian species

Abstract

Baryconus keralensis Narendran, sp. nov. comes near Baryconus diversus Saraswat in general appearance but differs from that species in having frons with a single median carina in front of front ocellus diverging and joining either side of scrobe margin and T6 without spines on posteriolateral corners. B.unidentatus Narendran sp. nov. comes near B.dunensis Mukerjee in general appearance but differs from that species in having prepectus indistinct and T6 with 3 spines. A key to Indian species of Baryconus is provided.
