Abstract

The members of the genus Polysphincta are koinobiont parasitoids exclusively associated with free living spiders. The genus is currently represented by three valid species from the Oriental region, viz., Polysphincta boops Tschek, 1869, P. longa Kasparyan, 1976 and P. punctigaster Varga & Reshchikov, 2015. In the present paper Polysphincta idukkiensis sp.n., is described from the Pambadum shola forests of Idukki district, a part of the southern Western Ghats of India. The species is closely related to P. boops Tschek in having impunctate swelling on metasomal tergites, but it differs from P. boops Tschek in having shallow close punctures on propodeum, and also on the length of ovipositor sheath. A key to the Oriental species of Polysphincta Gravenhorst, 1829 is provided.
