EDITOR'S PREFACE
The superfamily Chalcidoidea includes parasitic Hymenopteran
insects which are free-living as adults but their larval stages parasitise
various groups of insects and other Arthropods. It is one of the
difficult superfamilies of the order Hymenoptera. Much work has
been done in India on parasitic Hymenoptera but it is all scattered.
The author, Dr M.S. Mani, is the noted zoologist of India. His
expertise has been utilized in compiling the present voluminous work,
and in spite of his advancing old age, he has used his skill and mastery
over the subject true to his fame.
The complete volume comprises 22 families, 324 genera and 1039
species reported so far from the Indian region (i.e. India, Pakistan,
Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Burma and Sri Lanka). In some cases
it has not been possible for the author to give the exact localities
of occurrence of species either for not being available in literature
or he could not procure material of particular species but its great
usefulness to the investigators on the group is beyond doubt. For
many years to come it will serve as reference book for the Indian
and foreign workers on Parasitic Hymenoptera because of its
standard, completeness and authenticity.
In order to avoid unwieldliness of the volume and for easy

consultation, the present volume has been brought out in two parts.
Part I contains the families Agaontidae, Torymidae, Leucospididae,
Chalcididae, Eurytomidae, Perilampidae, Eucharidae, Cleonymidae,
Miscogasteridae, Pteromalidae, Eupelmidae, and Encyrtidae, and
Part 2 contains the families Signiphoridae, Aphelinidae, Elasmidae,
Euryi"schiidae, Elachertidae, Entedonidae, Eulophidae,
Tetrastichidae, Trichogrammatidae, Mymaridae, Supplement and
Index. A Host-Parasite List and a complete Bibliography on Indian
Chalcids are given at the end.

PREFACE
These volumes bring together under one cover the much
scattered and often almost inaccessible taxonomic descriptions of
the Chalcidoidea, known so far from the biogeographical area of
India.
When I began my studies on Indian Chalcids in the Zoological
Survey of India, Calcutta, in 1'931, there were hardly a dozen named
specimens and just a single type in the country. Except for Ashmead
and Schmiedeknecht, literature was simply non-existent. Chalcid
taxonomic research was then certainly a fool-hardy adventure that
Ramakrishna Ayyar and I had embarked on. We were virtually the
only Indians engaged in insect taxonomy in India and never worked
in the British Museum, London. Inevitably we made many mistakes,
but we were followed by many brilliant students like Subba Rao,
Alam, Agarwal, Shafee, Hayat, Joseph, Narendran and others, who
have since then enormously enriched our knowledge of these insects

from India. Though during all these years I have continued, with
many interruptions, my interest in Chalcids, it was indeed the
financial aid provided by US Department of Agriculture under the
PL-480 Programme that enabled me to undertake an extensive survey
of nearly the whole of India and collect several thousands of Chalcids
during 1971-1981. I was then Emeritus Professor, School of
Entomology, St. John's College, Agra. With most types scattered
in museums and private collections in Europe and USA, flooded with
vast amounts of unsorted and unnamed collections in various
institutions in India and with over one thousand "known" species,
many of which have actually to -be rediscovered, redescribed and
revised, a Fauna volume on Chalcidoidea would seem an utterly
u~realizable dream. There is yet a most urgent need for precisely
such a monograph, if we are at all to make any progress. These
volumes are expected to fulfil this need. Even ip the absence of types,
it has yet been possible to describe several species from specimens.
Synonymies have been brought up to date and notes on type
localities, geographical distribution and hosts have been included.
Keys to genera and species, though some of them are necessarily
(v)


artificial, have been given wherever possible. Most genera and species
are illustrated by figures, many of which are original and others have
been modified from sources suitably acknowledged i~ the text. In
attempting the awesome task of preparing this Fauna, I have, as J.D.
Hooker said of the famous Flora, merely swept up together in one
place the hopelessly scattered material. With all their shortcomings,
these volumes should, I hope, provide the necessary basis for further
work.

I

lowe a deep debt of gratitude to my numer~us students and
research associates for invaluable help in my Chalcid studies. My
special thanks are due to Dr. B.K. Tikader, Director, Zoological
Survey of India, Calcutta, for suggesting this work and for constant
encouragement. I am particularly thankful to Messrs P. Velayutham
and C. Shrinivasan, my Research Associates, for checking of
literature, for descriptions of genera and species and
for their exceptional skill in the preparation of illustrations.
Miss N. Bhooma, Technical Assistant, typed the rough drafts into
press-ready copy, with neatness and commendable accuracy. My
cordial thanks are due to the Nagaraj & Co. for their superb cooperation in course of the printing of these volumes. My sincere
thanks are due to Mr Shrinivasan for his invaluable help in reading
through the printer's proofs and in the preparation of Index.
