03A14648FFD1FFA63DCB249CFE075688.taxon	discussion	Comments. This is the first record of a brachypterous species in Astymachus Howard. The new species differs from all the five known macropterous species, not only in having very short wings, but also in having the maxillary palp 3 - segmented, and labial palp 2 - segmented, and in the presence of 5 brown cross-bands on tergites 1 – 5 of the gaster. The gaster is yellow or with various brown suffusions but without any brown cross-bands, and the palp formula is either 4 – 3 or 4 – 2 in the macropterous species (see Trjapitzin 1962; Prinsloo 1989; Sugonyaev 1996; Singh & Hayat 2005). The figure given by Hayat (2006: fig. 347) is that of a labial palp of A. felix Singh & Hayat, not of the maxillary palp.	en	Hayat, Mohammad, Veenakumari, Kamalanathan (2015): Description of four new species of brachypterous Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) from India.

This new species, excluding the short wings, is similar to the Indian species, M. antennata (Narayanan), but differs mainly as follows: two longitudinal brown to dark brown bands on frontovertex and face connected by a transverse band at level of posterior ocelli (Fig. 19); median longitudinal white band beginning at anterior end of pronotum and ending slightly anterior to apex of scutellum narrow throughout its length; scutellum with a narrow, U-shaped yellow band along margins (Fig. 20); median length of pronotum slightly greater than median length of mesoscutum. In M. antennata: two longitudinal brown to dark brown bands on frontovertex and face connected at level of anterior ocellus by a transverse pale brown to dark brown band (Fig. 17); median longitudinal white band beginning at anterior end of pronotum and ending at apex of scutellum gradually becoming wider towards apex; scutellum without a U-shaped yellow band along margins (Fig. 17); median length of pronotum distinctly less than that of mesoscutum (median length of pronotum 0.76 × mesoscutum length, in a slide-mounted mesosoma, and 0.86 × mesoscutum length in a card-mounted specimen from Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, not illustrated).

03A14648FFD9FFA93DCB2159FBD65015.taxon	discussion	Comments. This new species, although brachypterous, is clearly similar to Ooencyrtus flavipes (Timberlake 1920) (see Huang & Noyes 1994: figs 94 – 102) and O. daphne Huang & Noyes (1994: figs 89 – 93), and belongs to a small group of Ooencyrtus species [flavipes species-group, as inferred by Huang & Noyes 1994: p. 34]. It differs from both these species in having the head, in frontal view, almost rounded; and the number of segments of the maxillary and labial palps are 2 and 1 respectively. The number of segments in the maxillary and labial palps are 4 and 2 respectively, in O. flavipes, as given by Timberlake (1920) and 2 and 2 in O. daphne as informed by Dr. J. S. Noyes (per. comm .. 28.4.2015). The head, in frontal view, in both these species, is not rounded, but subquadratic, as is normal for the genus. For O. flavipes, see Huang & Noyes (1994: figs 94 and 95).	en	Hayat, Mohammad, Veenakumari, Kamalanathan (2015): Description of four new species of brachypterous Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) from India.
