Pteroceraphron Dessart 1981, Elysoceraphron Szelenyi 1936 and Cyoceraphron Dessart 1975 are three rare genera of family Ceraphronidae (Hymenoptera: Ceraphronoidea). Pteroceraphron and Cyoceraphron are reported for the first time from India by describing Pteroceraphron apoorva Bijoy and Rajmohana sp. nov., Cyoceraphron indicus Bijoy and Rajmohana sp. nov. and Cyoceraphron sahyadri Bijoy and Rajmohana sp. nov., while Elysoceraphron is documented for the first time even from the Oriental region through Elysoceraphron aadi Bijoy and Rajmohana sp. nov.
