Abstract

Chalcidid pupal parasitoids were collected by employing improved collection methods such as sweep-net and yellow pan trap from various localities of the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, India. Consequently, in the present paper nine species of the family Chalcididae are reported for the first time from the Union Territory. Details of the species hosts and distribution are also provided
