A new species of Uniclypea Bouček, 1976 (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) parasitic on Apoderus tranquebaricus Fabricius (Coleoptera: Attelabidae) from India with notes on biology.

One new species of parasitic wasp, Uniclypea similis n. sp. (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), reared from the leaf knots constructed by Apoderus tranquebaricus Fabricius (Coleoptera: Attelabidae) on the host plant Grewia abutilifolia Vent. ex Juss. is described and illustrated. The characteristic features of the new species are: post-marginal vein 2.3× stigmal vein, metasoma length 4.3× its width and costal cell 1.47× marginal vein. To my knowledge, the male of a species of Uniclypea is described and illustrated for the first time.
