KSA : AL-BAHA: Qunfudah, vi.2012 , (MT), Coll. Z. Ahmad (2 ♀, one on slide, EH.1594) ( ZDAMU ). Comments. The genus Coelopencyrtus Timberlake contains 30 world species ( Noyes 2013 ). We have checked descriptions of nearly all the described species ( Timberlake 1919b , 1922 ; Burks 1958 ; Annecke & Doutt 1961 ; Annecke 1968 ; Kazmi & Hayat 1998 ), and find that the Saudi Arabian specimens agree with C. krishnamurtii (Mahdihassan) , differing from the Indian specimens in having the scutellum largely bronzy violet, whereas it is largely bluish with some bronzy shine medially in the Indian specimens. The species is illustrated with some figures ( Figs 58–60 ).
