Abstract: Synopeas pauropsyllae Veenakumari & Buhl, sp. nov., a new species of
Synopeas Förster, 1856 (Hymenoptera: Platygastroidea: Platygastridae:
Platygastrinae), is recorded from galls induced by Pauropsylla cf. depressa
Crawford, 1912 (Hemiptera: Psylloidea: Triozidae) on Ficus benghalensis L.
(Moraceae) in India. It is concluded that S. pauropsyllae is a parasitoid of
this psyllid species. This is the first record of a platygastrid parasitizing
this host.
