Odontepyris argyriae Kurian, 1954b Fig. 16 , A–J Odontepyris argyriae Kurian, 1954b , 3: 437–439, Figs: 40–45. Type locality: Dharwar , India ( ♀ holotype , NFIC-FRI ) . Diagnosis . Female. Length about 5.75 mm. General colour black. Head wider than long; frons strongly coriaceous; ocelli distinct, crossing to supra-ocular line; eye glabrous; median clypeal lobe conspicuous, anterior margin angled, longer than lateral ones; median clypeal carina high in lateral view; mandible tetradentate; antenna with sparse pubescence, scape 2.0× longer than pedicel, pedicel as long as first flagellomere. Pronotum coriaceous; mesonotum shorter than pronotal dorsal area; notauli absent. Metapectal-propodeal disc wider than long; metapostnotal median carina present; first abdominal spiracle dorsolaterally placed. Tarsal claw trifid. Wings hyaline; forewing with pterostigma light brown, 2R1 2 c cell opened, Rs+M 2 v vein absent, 1M 2s c closed, small and oval. Metasoma polished. Male. Unknown. Material examined. Holotype : [ INDIA , Karnataka ], Dharwar, S. A. Raja Rao coll., parasitic on sugarcane borer Argyria sticticraspis . Type conditions. Holotype partly dissected on slide Nº. 138/B and remaining rested on the pin. Pinned : Complete body, head with left antennae (without apical flagellomere) and right (with scape only); mesosoma with two pairs of wings, legs (left pro-, meso- and metalegs without tibiae and tarsi; right with pro- and metacoxa, mesoleg without tibia and tarsi) and metasoma, pinned at pronotum. On slides : S1 C1—one antenna; one leg, without coxa, and with two distal tarsi. S2 C1—nine apical flagellomeres; two forewings. S2 C2—one proleg without coxa; three antennal segments (pedicel and 1–2 flagellomeres). FIGURE 15. A–L. Goniozus thalasodi Kurian, 1955 . Holotype. A. Habitus, dorsal view; B. Part of head and mesosoma, dorsal view; C. Head, frontal view; D. Head and mesosoma, lateral view; E. Antenna; F. Legs, left proleg and right metaleg; G. Metapectal-propodeal disc, dorsal view; H. Metasoma, lateral view; I. Forewing; J. Habitus, lateral view, before remounting; K. Slide of holotype; L. Labels. Remarks. Both the slides (S1 and S2) are labeled as “ Holotype ”, but the body parts mounted on S1 does not match the pinned holotype , and is likely non-type material. However, in S2, all parts under cover one (S2 C1) and cover two (S2 C2) match the holotype , with the addition of two forewings from non-type material. Hosts. Lepidoptera : Pyralidae : Chilo infuscatellus Snellen (senior synonym of A. sticticraspis ).
