A New Species of the Genus Poecilotiphia Cameron, 1902 (Hymenoptera: Thynnidae) from India
The rare thynnid flower wasp, genus Poecilotiphia Cameron, 1902, is reported for the first time from the Oriental region. We provide description and illustration of a new species, Poecilotiphia babui. Paralectotype images of the closely allied P. albomaculata Cameron, 1902, were studied and provided here.
