Abstract

A new species of Scenocharops Uchida, S. sinui sp. nov. is described from Karnataka, India. The new species is parasitic on Rice leaf folder, Cnaphalocrocis medina lis (Guenee). Scenocharops sinui sp. nov. is similar to S. namkumensis Gupta and Maheshwary but differs in the sculptures on frons, vertex, and mesoscutum, in having a median longitudinal carina on frons and larger malar space. The species Campoplex artonae Narendran is transferred to the genus Dusona and a new combination, Dusona artonae (Narendran) comb. nov. is proposed.
