| Popis: | The coconut palm, Cocos nucifera L. (Arecales: Arecaceae), is infested by a series of lepidopteran, coleopteran, hemipteran, and acarine pests in India. Of the long list, the species Coconympha iriarcha Meyrick 1931 (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is one of the least encountered defoliators on coconut. Here we record and describe with illustrations, two new species of parasitic wasps, viz. Pediobius coconymphagus Binoy & Sureshan, sp. nov. and Goniozus coconymphagus Santhosh sp. nov., attacking the pupae and larvae of C. iriarcha from India. |
