Genus Paraleptomenes Giordani Soika, 1970 View in CoL View at ENA
Paraleptomenes Giordani Soika 1970: 79 View in CoL . Type species: Paraleptomenes nurseanus Giordani Soika, 1970 View in CoL , by original designation.
Diagnosis. Anterior face of the pronotum with two coalesced foveae, pronotal face punctate laterally; metanotum without tubercles; propodeum with submarginal carina produced into pointed lamella apically and valvula enlarged and free posteriorly from submarginal carina; fore wing with second submarginal cell not petiolate; mid tibia with one spur; first metasomal segment subsessile, in dorsal view narrower than second, wider apically than basally; T1 not transversely carinate; T2 ridged basally, not forming acarinarium; T2 not reflexed apically.
Distribution. Primarily Oriental Region.
Key to species and subspecies from the Indian subcontinent (modified from Giordani Soika 1994)
1. Scutellum nearly flat; metanotum almost horizontal (See TAV. V; page 82 of Giordani Soika, 1970); T1 elongate, almost hemi- spherical, about 1.5x wider than long; maximum width of T2 equal to about 1.5x that of T1; punctation of T2 almost unchanged in the vicinity of the apical margin............................... P. nurseanus Giordani Soika, 1970 View in CoL ...2

3. Maximum width of T1 about equal to its median length (0.90–1.10x)............... P. miniatus View in CoL (de Saussure, 1855) … 4
- Maximum width of T1 distinctly greater than its median length (1.25–1.50x)..................................... 6
