The new species comes close to S. setosus Chen &amp; van Achterberg in the key by Chen &amp; van Achterberg (1997) in having temple, vertex, frons, face, and mesoscutum punctate; first metasomal tergite with longitudinal rugae, spiracles not protruding; and mesosoma brownish yellow. However, it differs as follows (in addition to the characters mentioned above for Parasyntretus): inter-tentorial line subequal to tentorio-ocular line (vs 2.5 × in S. setosus); notauli prominent and crenulate (vs notauli absent); r issued from middle of pterostigma (vs r issued distinctly behind middle of pterostigma in S. setosus); length of hind basitarsus 16.3 × their width (vs 8.3 × in S. setosus); first tergite brown (vs black) and metapleuron coarsely reticulate (vs smooth).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E987BEFFBDA717B6B7FA65FA010E08	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Female on card; India: Arunachal Pradesh: West Siang district: Aalo; Yellow pan trap; 05.i.2019; coll. NBAIR; code-NIM/ NBAIR /Hym/Brac/Hera/50119 .</p><p>Key characters: Pedicel pale yellowish as scape; antennomeres 25 th –28 th white; eye length 4.4 × as long as temple; third antennomere 0.8 × as long as length of fourth. Scutellum spine straight; spine of scutellum in dorsal view 1.6 × as long as median carina of scutellar sulcus. Pterostigma more or less elliptical. Tarsal claws slender, longer than arolium (Figs 7D, 7E). First tergite 1.2 × as long as its apical width. Ovipositor sheath 0.8 × as long as hind tibia.</p><p>Comments. This species is very close to H. filosa; however, more specimens need to be collected and examined to ascertain that the main difference (stout first tergite) is not just clinal variation. In H. filosa it is known to vary at least 20% (1.5–1.8 ×); colour is variable, so preferably some structural differences in several specimens can confirm the status of the species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E987BEFFBAA714B6B7FF68FEA90D2E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
