Summary:
The presence of the new species also calls for further research on their population and distribution, said Girish. The length of the body is 12.5 mm (including 5.86 mm length of ovipositor sheath in profile view) and it is black in colour. So they have great role in the agriculture front, as they kill the pests.But the main threat that the genus faces is the increased use of pesticides, according to the researchers. The eyes are grey while tarsi have liver brown pigmentation. Wings hyaline have brownish tinge while veins dark brown and pubescence silvery, said the researchers.The present description is based on a single female specimen, since further efforts to collect more specimens did not yield any additional material due to the rare nature of the genus, they said.So far, seven species of Megachalcis, which are found in South Asia, have been spotted and this is the eighth species..
