ABSTRACT

Two rare genera of Pteromalidae viz., Neapterolelaps Girault and Thaumasura Westwood are reported for the first time from the Oriental Region. Distribution of both the genera is currently confined to Australasian Region with majority of species reported from the Australian continent and surrounding island groups in the Indo-Australian region. Here we report the range extension of both the genera in the Oriental region with the description and illustrations of new species Neapterolelaps paraeneiceps Sureshan and Binoy sp. nov. and Thaumasura indica Sureshan and Binoy sp. nov. from Southern Western Ghats, India. Affinities of the new species with closely related conspecifics are discussed and a partial key of Neapterolelaps is provided.

摘要

东方地区首次报道了翼龙科的两个稀有属，Neapterolelaps Girault和Thaumasura Westwood。目前，这两个属的分布都局限于澳大利亚地区，据报道大部分物种来自澳大利亚大陆和印度-澳大利亚地区周围的岛屿群。在这里，我们用新物种Neapterolelaps paraeneiceps Sureshan和Binoy sp。的描述和插图报告了东方地区两个属的范围扩展。年11月。和Thaumasura indica Sureshan和Binoy sp。十一月。来自印度南部西高止山脉。讨论了具有密切相关的特定物种的新物种的亲和力，并提供了Neapterolelaps的部分密钥。
