Description

Taxonomy and diversity of Evaniidae from India have not been studied in depth and hosts of many species are unknown. Out of 31 world genera, only 05 genera (Evania Fab., Prosevania Kieffer, Szepligetella Bradley, Vernevania Huben & Deans and Zeuxevania Kieffer) are reported from India. Based on collection deposited in the Hymenoptera section of Zoological Survey of India (National Zoological Collection), here we are describing a new species of the genus Zeuxevania.A new evaniid species Zeuxevania hubeni sp. nov. is described based on a female specimen collected fromKadaludi Bird Sanctuary, Kerala, India. The new species is compared with Z. curvicarinata (Cameron) as well as Z. kasauliensis (Muzaffer) and a key to Indian species based on females is provided. The type specimen is deposited in the National Zoological Collection, Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata, India.
