Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Two doryctine species, viz., Leluthia pongamiacola Gupta & Belokobylskij, sp. nov. and Sycosoter ordinarius Gupta & Belokobylskij, sp. nov., are described from southern India, reared from coleopteran-infested logs of Pongamia pinnata (L.) Pierre (Fabaceae). Additionally, Ipodoryctes signipennis (Walker, 1860), reared from the same infested logs, is redescribed. A key to the Indian species of the genus Leluthia is suggested. Biological notes of the coleopteran complex are provided.
