Introduction P.B.No.2491, H.A. Farm Post, Over 8,300 species of animals inhabiting terrestrial and marine environment had been recorded Hebbal, Bengaluru - 560024, Karnataka, India from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands including around 1117 species and subspecies of endemics. Among them, 186 species of Hymenoptera were reported [22]. Insect diversity and K Veenakumari their ecological significance of the proposed City forest in Andaman and Nicobar Islands have Division of Insect Systematics, been studied [26]. Recently, little research works on encyrtids, aphelinids [6, 7, 8, 9], platygastrids ICAR-National Bureau of [28] and braconids [1] from Andaman and Nicobar Islands were reported. In respect of Agricultural Insect Resources [15] P.B.No.2491, H.A. Farm Post, mymaridae, Manickavasagam and Rameshkumar were the first to record six genera and 15 Hebbal, Bengaluru - 560024, species of mymarids from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands followed by Zeya [29] (one new Karnataka, India species of Tanyxiphium); Anwar et al. [2] (two new species of Omyomymar); Palanivel et al. [18] (one new species of Stephanocampta) and Rameshkumar and Manickavasagam [19] (two new species of Dicopomorpha). This paper adds nine more species to the mymarid fauna of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands from among which Dicopomorpha zebra Huber is recorded for the first time from India. 2. Materials and method Mymarid parasitoids were collected from different localities of Andaman and Nicobar Islands during March 2016 using yellow pan traps and net sweeping from various ecosystems (grassy [16] land, weedy field, Orchard etc.) . Collected specimens were processed with [3] Hexamethydisilazane (HMDS) and card/slide mounted for identification. The species of mymarids were identified by appropriate literature [5, 10, 11, 12, 23, 24, 26, 27]. Voucher specimens were deposited in the repository of ICAR – National Bureau of Agricultural Insect Resources (ICAR-NBAIR), Bengaluru, India. 3. Results and Discussion Survey of Andaman and Nicobar Islands revealed that Dicopomorpha zebra Huber (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Mymaridae) is reported from India for the first time. Nine Correspondence species of mymarids are recorded as new to Andaman and Nicobar Islands. An updated Rameshkumar A checklist of mymarids is also provided. (A).

The study based on the Mymaridae, materials kept in the main reference insect collections in Egypt, and the Taxonomy, available literature. Egypt. INTRODUCTION The Mymaridae (fairy wasps) are a family of chalcid wasps found in temperate and tropical regions throughout the world. It includes the most primitive members of the chalcid wasp and contains around 100 genera with about 1400 species (Noyes, 2005). Fairyflies are very tiny insects and include the world's smallest known insects. They generally range from 0.5 to 1.0 mm long. Adult mymarids are rather fragile, the body generally being slender and the wings narrow with an elongate marginal fringe. Their delicate bodies and their hair-fringed wings have earned them their common name. Very little is known of the life histories of fairyflies, as only a few species have been observed extensively.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

It is similar to Arescon on wing features but is unique among Mymaridae in having distinctly segmented palpi. It is the fifth mymarid genus definitely referable to the Cretaceous period. A key to Cretaceous mymarid genera is presented and the features of Myanmymar are compared with the other Cretaceous and extant mymarid genera.
