Morphological and molecular characterization of a new species of Hadronotus Förster (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) reared from reduviid eggs in India
Hadronotus omnistriatus Debnath, Rajmohana and Thirupam Reddy sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) is described herein as new to science from India under the muscaeformis species group. The specimens were reared from eggs of a reduviid host (Hemiptera: Reduviidae). A detailed morphological description is provided, along with its DNA barcode data. A single gene-based molecular phylogenetic analysis on the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I is presented to support the delineation of the new species. Additionally, a checklist of Hadronotus species reported from India is provided.
