Description

Tribe Dithrycini

Tribe Dithrycini is represented in India by three described genera: Malaisinia Hering, Platensina Enderlein and Oedaspis Loew, all included in subtribe Platensinina by Hancock (2001), with ten described species (Agarwal and Sueyoshi 2005; David et al. 2022a; Maneesh et al. 2023; Singh et al. 2025). Platensina accounts for seven species and the other two genera with one and two species respectively (Maneesh et al. 2 023; Singh et al. 2025). The tribe is mostly associated with Asteraceae and forms stem galls, with one species, Oedaspis nauniensis Maneesh & Hancock, recently recorded from subterranean galls on Artemisia sp. (Maneesh et al. 2023). Two new species in Malaisinia and Platensina are described here.
