New Record of Carinostigmus Tsuneki (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae: Pemphredoninae) species in India and identity of its species using DNA barcoding

Specimens of the aphid hunting wasp Carinostigmus Tsuneki (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae: Pemphredoninae) were collected from South India. Morphological identification revealed three species, and one of them, C. griphus Krombein, is new for India. Identification of the species is supported through COI partial gene-DNA barcoding.
