Abstract

Triteleia Kieffer is a little known scelionid genus. Two species, viz., flagellata Abhilash and Rajmohana sp. nov. and T. robusta Abhilash and Rajmohana sp. nov. are described as new to science. Further T. bengalensis (Saraswat), the only species known under Triteleia in India, is redescribed and a dichotomous key to the three Indian species of Triteleia is provided.
