  • Noyes & Hayat (1984) erected the genus Adektitopus with A. gordhi as the type species. Later, Hayat (1989) transferred Clausenia longipennis Shafee & Avasthi (1983) to Adektitopus. These two species known from this genus are reported so far only from India. Hayat (2006) gave a key to these two species along with one undetermined species. From the routine survey for encyrtids in Tamil Nadu, specimens apparently belonging to this undetermined species of Adektitopus were recovered and is described here as a new species. Another new species, belonging to the cosmopolitan genus Rhopus Forster,which is represented by 62 species globally with 20 and 18 species from Oriental and India respectively (Noyes 2012) which are parasitoids of mealybugs associated with grasses (Graminae) (Noyes & Hayat 1994) including rice, is also described.
