This species can be most distinctly identified with T 1 having a distinct yellow lateral horn located sub basally and pre-medially near the anterior end; temples and vertex striate. Fore wings with vein 2 Rs greater than r-m. Fore and mid legs yellow with terminal segments brown. Mean face width / head width = 0.45. Hind tarsal segments 2 – 3 white. Discussion. Buluka horni sp. nov. can be separated from B. huddlestoni Austin in the very first couplet in the key to species of Buluka in Austin (1989) with the most distinctive character of presence of lateral horn on T 1. It resembles B. huddlestoni in having temples and vertex striate but differs in following characters of B. huddlestoni: absence of lateral horn; 2 Rs equal to r-m; hind legs yellow with only basitarsus black and tarsal segments except basitarsus yellow.

CB3EBD19FFBF4A1031CF00CAFC6BFEDA.taxon	discussion	Comments. Paraphylax sp. is recorded for the first time from Glyptapanteles trilochae sp. nov. cocoons associated with caterpillar of Trilocha varians (Walker). This is surely a case of hyperparasitism. The species identity could not be confirmed as more specimens are required for identification. Male. Not known.	en	Gupta, Ankita (2013): Three new species of reared parasitic wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Microgastrinae) from India. Zootaxa 3701 (3): 365-380, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3701.3.6
