Twelve encyrtid species viz. Agarwalencyrtus citri (Agarwal), Alamella flava Agarwal, Anomalicornia tenuicornis Mercet, Cryptanusia ajmerensis (Fatma & Shafee), Yasumatsuiola orientalis (Trjapitzin), Ethoris dahmsi Noyes and Hayat, Hemileucoceras longicornis Hayat, Hesperencyrtus gordhi (Fatma & Shafee), Monstranusia antennata (Narayanan), Paratetracnemoidea malenotti, (Mercet), Pentelicus depunctatus Manickavasagam & Chaitanya and Pentelicus punctatus Manickavasagam & Chaitanya are newly recorded from different states of India. From the present work, Anaesius hayati reared from an unidentified mealybug from an unknown weed, Gentakola trifasciata reared from Maconellicoccus hirsutus, Ooencyrtus penchants reared from an unidentified diaspidid scale on cotton and O. segestes reared from unidentified Heteroptera eggs from citrus and pomegranate were first host records and Anaesius advena reared from unidentified bug egg from cocoa, Prochiloneurus pulchellus and P. aegyptiacus reared from Phenacoccus solenopsis, Metaphycus sp. reared from mango galls and Proleurocerus montanus reared from unidentified mealybug on unknown weed were additional new host records.
