The Indian species of family Pteromalidae are distributed into 21 subfamilies with 121 genera and 333 species. India comprises of twenty-nine states and seven union territories. The species distribution given in this checklist follows the current division of states/union territories. The species are arranged subfamily wise in alphabetical order. The readers are advised to visit Universal Chalcidoidea Database for individual species regarding world distribution and associated hosts. This checklist will be updated with new species additions as and when published. Authors of taxonomic changes and others with information on additions/corrections are encouraged to notify the Contact. The work on addition of species factsheets is in progress.
