New species of Lemophagus Townes, 1965 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Campopleginae) from India reared as a larval parasitoid of Crioceris nigroornata Clarke, 1866 (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae)

The campoplegine genus Lemophagus is reported for the first time from India, along with the description of a new species, L. larvivorus sp. nov. The specimens were reared as larval parasitoids of the chrysomelid beetle Crioceris nigroornata . The new species is compared with all extant species, and its validity is further supported by molecular data. A concatenated maximum likelihood tree of COI+28S gene fragments is presented including species with available molecular data.

Abstract

The campoplegine genus Lemophagus is reported for the first time from India, along with the description of a new species, L. larvivorus sp. nov.

The new species is compared with all extant species, and its validity is further supported by molecular data. A concatenated maximum likelihood tree of COI+28S gene fragments is presented including species with available molecular data.
