  • Description: <jats:p>Synopeas pauropsyllae Veenakumari &amp; Buhl, sp. nov., a new species of Synopeas Förster, 1856 (Hymenoptera: Platygastroidea: Platygastridae: Platygastrinae), is recorded from galls induced by Pauropsylla cf. depressa Crawford, 1912 (Hemiptera: Psylloidea: Triozidae) on Ficus benghalensis L. (Moraceae) in India. It is concluded that S. pauropsyllae is a parasitoid of this psyllid species. This is the first record of a platygastrid parasitizing this host.</jats:p>
