Abstract

Platygaster cf. achterbergiana Buhl is described for the first time from India and the hitherto unknown female of Platygaster neostriatitergitis Veenakumari and Buhl is described with illustrations. New host association is provided for Platygaster luteipes Buhl and Platygaster narendrani Ushakumari. P. luteipes has no specificity in host plant associations.
