Abstract

Anastatus umae sp. n., a parasite in the oothecae of two Indian species of cockroaches, mainly of Neostylopyga rhombifolia (Stoll), is described. It is assigned to Cladanastatus subgen. n. of Anastatus, based mainly on the branched antennae in the male and on some less conspicuous characters of the female. Eupelmus leithi Wlk., another Indian species, is transferred to Anastatus. In addition, two other parasites of Indian cockroaches, Tetrastichus hagenowii (Ratz.) and T. asthenogmus (Wtstn.), which were confused as a single species, T. hagenowii, in the synopsis of the cockroaches and their parasites by Roth & willis in 1960, are separated.
