Abstract

Two new species viz., Pambolus (Phaenodus) shujaisp. nov., and Parachremylus trachysisp. nov., of braconid wasps are described as new to science. Parachremylus trachysisp. nov., is reared from larvae of the leaf miner Trachys sp. (Coleoptera, Buprestidae) on Corchorus sp. (Wild Jute Plant). A new species of Pambolus Haliday along with two known species is also recorded. A key to the Indian species of Pambolus is also provided. Diagnoses with morphological characters and illustrations are provided.
