Fig. 49 , A–I

Neodryinus pusaensis Kurian, 1955 , 4: 75, 76, Figs 39–44 .

Type locality: Pusa , India (♂ holotype, NFIC-FRI) .

Diagnosis. Male. Length 1.5 mm. General colour dark reddish-brown to black. Head wider than long; frons weakly coriaceus; ocelli distinct; eye setose; median clypeal lobe conspicuous, anterior margin triangular; antenna with 10 segments, scape slightly longer than pedicel. Pronotum coriaceous; mesonotum shorter than pronotal dorsal area. Metapectal-propodeal disc longer than wide; metapostnotal median carina indistinct. Wings hyaline; forewing with pterostigma dark brown. Metasoma polished. Female. Unknown.

Material examined. Holotype: [ INDIA Bihar,] Pusa , on rice, 10.VIII.1930, C. Nº. 2065, Huq coll.

Type conditions. Holotype partly dissected on slide Nº. 4/B and remaining rested on the pin. Pinned: mesosoma, with right forewing, intact. On slides : S1 C1—one antenna complete; S1 C2—three legs, one without coxa. S2 C1—slightly cracked head and metasoma. S3 C1—one forewing and one hind wing. S3 C2 one antenna and one leg complete.

Remarks. The holotype is in too poor a condition to identify and compare it to other dryinids.

Hosts. Unknown.
