Abstract
Oothecae of three species of praying mantis belonging to genera Humbertiella Saussure, Leptomantella Burmeister and Odontomantis Saussure from Kerala were collected and reared. Parasitisation of eupelmid and torymid (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae, Torymidae) parasitoids on mantid oothecae with species level identification are reported for the first time from India. Bharatagrion gen. nov. is newly described within Podagrionini (Torymidae) with type species B. keralense sp. nov. attacking oothecae of Leptomantella parva (Werner) (Mantodea, Leptomantellidae) from Kerala. Further three species, Eupelmus gibsoni Binoy & Sureshan sp. nov. (Eupelmidae), Palmon humbertiellophaga Binoy & Sureshan sp. nov., and Podagrion grisselli Binoy & Sureshan sp. nov.: (Torymidae) are described with illustrations. Type images of Palmon orchesticus (Masi), Podagriomicron wayanadense Narendran & Mercy, and Podagrion keralensis Narendran are illustrated for the first time.
期刊介绍：
Systematic Parasitology publishes papers on the systematics, taxonomy and nomenclature of the following groups: Nematoda (including plant-parasitic), Monogenea, Digenea, Cestoda, Acanthocephala, Aspidogastrea, Cestodaria, Arthropoda (parasitic copepods, hymenopterans, mites, ticks, etc.), Protozoa (parasitic groups), and parasitic genera in other groups, such as Mollusca, Turbelleria, etc. Systematic Parasitology publishes fully illustrated research papers, brief communications, and fully illustrated major revisions. In order to maintain high standards, all contributors describing new taxa are asked to state clearly where the holotype is deposited and to make paratypes available for examination by the referees. It is recognized that, in some cases, this may cause problems for the authors, but it is hoped that by adhering to this rule authors may be protected against rapid synonymy of their taxa, and the types will be preserved for posterity.
