Abstract
ABSTRACT Streblote siva (Lefèbvre) (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) is a polyphagous pest of many economically important crops, including moringa (Moringa oleifera Lamarck). The present study reports, for the first time, a species of Telenomus Haliday (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) as an egg parasitoid of S. siva. The rearing data revealed that this egg parasitoid was gregarious in nature, and upon further taxonomic examination it was found that the parasitoid represented an undescribed species of Telenomus. In this study, an mt COI DNA barcode was generated for this new species from India. Additionally, with the mt COI gene data and the published 28S sequence data concatenated, a two-gene phylogenetic tree was constructed to ascertain the placement of this new species within the genus Telenomus. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:7F97EBD0087C4324A601-EE8194E8E577
