ratio 4:5; IATS:MB:OATS = 1:2:1.5. Lancet (Fig. 24) with 20 serrulae. Ovipositor sheath as in Fig. 7 (lateral view) and Fig. 12 (dorsal view). Sculpture and pubescence: Head with minute, shallow wrinkles, surface shining; thorax except mesoscutellum and appendage with minute, fine, shallow punctures, surface shining with general oily lustre; abdomen impunctate, subshining. Body covered with golden pubescence. Male - Not found. Holotype - Female, Uttar Pradesh, Flower Valley, 3300 m, 24. 7. 1992. Paratype - 1 female, Uttar Pradesh, Dhanolti, 2700 m, 25. 6. 1993. Distribution - India, Uttar Pradesh. Diagnostic combinations - Combinations of some characters such as scape twice as long as its apical width; pedicel as long as its apical width; segments 3 and 4 as long as 3:4; inter- and circumocellar furrows distinct; POL:UOL:OCL:UCL as 4:3:4:3; hind basitarsus shorter than the following 3 joints combined as 4:5, etc. are sufficient to consider N. fulvidus sp. n. as a new species. These are species specific characters and keep it far apart from the rest of the Indian species described under this genus. Etymology - The species name pertains to the peculiar general colour of the body. Key to the Indian species of Nematus Panzer Body mainly black 2 Body mainly fulvous 3 Front four legs entirely fulvous; hind leg except blackish apical 1/3 of tibia fulvous N. nigricornis Lepeletier All legs with broad blackish marking including all coxae except basal 1/3 and hind tarsi entirely N. maculipodus sp. n. Head mainly black; hind tarsi more or less fuscous; inner hind tibial spur less than half length of hind basitarsus N. brunniventris sp. n. Head mainly fulvous; hind tarsi fulvous; inner hind tibial spur at least half the length of hind basitarsus 4 Scape as long as its apical width; pedicel half of its apical width; inner- and circumocellar furrows indistinct; POL:UOL:OCL:UCL = 1:1:1:1 N. kaleri sp. n. Scape twice as long as apical width; pedicel as long as its apical width; inter- and circumocellar furrows distinct; POL:UOL:OCL:UCL = 4:3:4:3 N. fulvidus sp. n.
