摘要

Telenomus hexodon Debnath & Rajmohana sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), is described as new to science. The species was reared from eggs of the polyphagous pest Clouded Tiger moth, Creatonotos transiens (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae). This represents the first record of an insect parasitoid association with C. transiens. Host identity was confirmed through DNA barcoding, while the parasitoid was characterized using an integrative taxonomic approach combining morphological and molecular data. Further, a checklist of Telenomus species reported from India is provided.
