Latter is recorded for the first time in India. New local data of Neuroctenus affinis Distant, 1904 and N. kashmirensls Kormilev, 1971 are given. Some Mezirinae collected by Dr. Gy.TOPÁL In India during his field trip in 1967 are in the Hungarian Natural History Museum. This paper contains the results of the Investigation made on them. Neuroctenus affinis Distant, 1904 Orissa, Daitari, 700 m. 1. I. 1967. singled under bark of trees; 22. X. 1967, singled from manure (?); 4. xn. 1967, singled under bark of trees.
