A new species of Foenatopus Smith (Hymenoptera: Stephanidae) from Andaman Islands, India
View through CrossRef
The family Stephanidae Leach, 1815, is cosmopolitan, yet a group of infrequently encountered parasitoids with 364 described extant species in 13 genera (Aguiar et al. 2010; Binoy et al. 2020) and nine species in four extinct genera (Aguiar 2004; Aguiar et al. 2013; Engel & Huang 2017) worldwide. The Indian Stephanidae was recently revised (Binoy et al. 2020), recognising a total of 30 species in four extant genera viz., Foenatopus Smith, Megischus Brullé, Parastephanellus Enderlein and Stephanus Jurine.
