34314512DB614F1FFF07B340FDC5F73B.taxon	discussion	Discussion. As per the key of Allen (1975), this new species comes close to Tiphia cinchonae Allen in the following features: lateral side of pronotum with a distinct transdiscal groove; dorsal side of propodeum with submarginal carina, hind basitarsus without groove, dorsal pronotum with complete transverse carina, not inflated hind tibia, Gs 2 without anterior transverse carina, and dorsal side of propodeum without longitudinal carina between areola and lateral margin but this new species differs from T. (T.) cinchonae in the following features: wings brown infumated (in T. (T.) cinchonae, wings yellowish hyaline); carina of propodeal areola margined by crenulations (in T. (T.) cinchonae, carina of propodeal areola not margined by crenulations); tegula brownish black (in T. (T.) cinchonae, tegula yellowish orange), and medium-sized (6.5 – 11.2 mm) species (T. (T.) cinchonae are small-sized (5.5 – 6 mm) species).	en	Hanima, Raveendran K. P., Kumar, Girish, Hegde, Vishwanath D.

34314512DB484F35FF07B080FC56F41B.taxon	discussion	Discussion. As per the key of Allen (1975), this new species comes close to Tiphia capillata Allen & Jaynes in having mandible with preapical denticle; fore wing hyaline; marginal cell of fore wing greatly longer than second cubital cell; Gs 6 without tuft of dense setae apically but it differs from T. (T.) capillata in the following features: areola of dorsal side of propodeum rectangular in shape (in T. (T.) capillata, areola of dorsal side of propodeum key stone in shape); areola with its base 0.98 × and median length 1.2 × apical width (in T. (T.) capillata, areola with its base 1.13 × and median length 1.25 × apical width); metanotum with sparsely arranged punctures and without median broad conical projection (in T. (T.) capillata, metanotum with closely arranged punctures and with median broad conical projection); dorsal side of propodeum outside areola striate and reticulate and without punctures (in T. (T.) capillata, dorsal side of propodeum outside areola glossy and with minute sparse punctures); tegula dark brown (in T. (T.) capillata, tegula reddish translucent); inner side of fore and mid tibia yellowish brown, other parts of legs black (in T. (T.) capillata, tibia and tarsi of all three pairs of legs largely yellowish).	en	Hanima, Raveendran K. P., Kumar, Girish, Hegde, Vishwanath D.

(T.) nathani as follows: fore wing hyaline (in T. (T.) nathani, fore wing densely infumate); marginal cell of fore wing greatly longer than second cubital cell in apical extension (in T. (T.) nathani, marginal cell of fore wing moderately longer than second cubital cell in apical extension); dorsum of metanotum without trace of median carina (in T. (T.) nathani, dorsum of metanotum with trace of median carina); anterior punctures of preapical band not coalesced and not bordered by transverse escarpment (in T.

34314512DB094F74FF07B7FBFDFAF743.taxon	discussion	Discussion. This new species shows similarities with T. (T.) bijui sp. nov. in the following characters: dorsal side of pronotum with transverse carina complete over middle section, lateral side of pronotum with distinct trans discal groove, Gs 2 without anterior transverse carina, hind basitarsus without groove, and tricarinate areola of dorsal side of propodeum but this new species distinctly differs from T. (T.) bijui sp. nov. in the following characters: dorsal side of propodeum without submarginal carina (in T. (T.) bijui sp. nov., dorsal side of propodeum with submarginal carina); carina of areola not margined by crenulations (in T. (T.) bijui sp. nov., carina of areola margined by crenulations); wings yellowish hyaline (in T. (T.) bijui sp. nov., wings brown infumated); larger species (13 – 16 mm) (in T. (T.) bijui sp. nov., medium sized species (7 – 10 mm )); hind tibia inflated (in T. (T.) bijui, hind tibia usually not inflated).	en	Hanima, Raveendran K. P., Kumar, Girish, Hegde, Vishwanath D.
