A complete updated checklist of Indian Trichogrammatidae is presented here. This list is based on a detailed study of all available published data and on recent collected materials from different state of India. A total of 151 species representing 31 genera were recognized from India. Keywords: Checklist, Trichogrammatidae, India.

INTRODUCTION fascinating such as modifications in antennal, wing, male The family Trichogrammatidae is one of the most widely genitalic characters, though laborious and time distributed, speciose and biologically diverse group. The consuming work. Because of their small size, lack of members of this family are very minute, measuring about literature, lack of collection and less studies 0.2-1.0 mm and are easily recognized by three resulted in many nomenclature problems. Girault (1911, segmented tarsi. The trichogrammatids fauna is 1912a, b, 1913) was perhaps the only chalcidologist who represented by 89 genera and more than 800 species made great strides in the study of trichogrammatids, and across the world (Ranyse et al., 2010). However, in India, Ashmead (1904) laid the foundation for subsequent it is represented by only 151 species in 31 genera (Noyes, taxonomists to work further. However, the need for a 2012) and among them Trichogramma Westwood and reliable system for classifying trichogrammatids was Oligosita Walker are highly speciose (Noyes, 2012).

These authors trichogrammatids constitute an economically important studied all the available types and presented for the first group of hymenopterous parasitoids attacking eggs of time a workable key to the genera known from the world various groups of pests mostly on Lepidoptera and and gave notes on their distribution and synonym.
