During the surveys undertaken in July-September 2020, a braconid solitary koinobiont endoparasitoid, <I>Meteorus pulchricornis</I>(Wesmael) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Euphorinae) was found parasitizing the invasive pest, fall armyworm (FAW), <I>Spodoptera frugiperda</I> (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in maize. <I>Meteorus pulchricornis</I> is a new addition to the known and rapidly expanding parasitoid complex of FAW in India. The present study provides morphological identification details of M. <I>pulchricornis</I> along with comparison notes of other closely allied and confusing species.
