Abstract

Three new species ofTrichogramma occurring in India are described. Two of these were reared from eggs of the sugarcane stem-borerChilotraea infuscatellus, while the third was found attacking eggs ofAchaea janata, Tiracola plagiata andHeliothis armigera. The diagnostic value of the male genitalia in this genus is emphasized and a discussion is presented justifying the consideration of these as new species.
