Abstract

Buprestid type collection has been studied and updated at National Forest Insect Collection (NFIC), Forest Research Institute (FRI), Dehradun, India. Buprestids in NFIC are represented by 11 subfamilies, 14 tribes, 15 genera having 54 holotypes 22 paratypes of 71 species. In the present contribution 71 insect specimens belonging to family Buprestidae their subfamilies, tribes with male and female of Holotypes and Paratypes are digitized alongwith coloured photograph of each specimen taken with automontage3-D imaging system for long term use.

Abstract

Egg parasitoids belonging to the genus Trichogramma are well known biological control agents, being utilised in applied biological control of insect pests, particularly against lepidopterous pests of agricultural crops and forest tree species. In the present paper, important diagnostic characters of all Indian species of Trichogramma have been given, in brief. Host-range of the Indian Trichogramma spp., along with their distributional record has also been up-dated. Scope of application of Trichogramma spp. for controlling the key insect pests has also been discussed.
