Abstract
The paper deals with ten of the twenty-five known species of Anagyrus Howard from India. The Indian species are segregated into five species-groups: Swezeyi, Mirzai, Alami, Greeni, and Pseudococci Groups. The ten known species dealt with are: swezeyi Timberlake, saccharicola Timberlake, aligarhensis Agarwal, punctulatus Agarwal, mirzai Agarwal, longipennis Shafee, Alam & Agarwal, alami Hayat, greeni Howard, indicus Shafee, Alam & Agarwal, and agraensis Saraswat. Of these, swezeyi, saccharicola and greeni are considered doubtful Indian records. Two new species (A. longiventris, sp. nov.; A. shahidi, sp. nov.) are described in the Swezeyi-Group and A. diversicornis Mercet, also of the same group recorded from India for the first time. A key is given for the separation of the species-groups and the species belonging to two of these groups.
