Black except the following parts as follows: tibia of all legs (Fig. 486), antenna beneath (Fig. 486) and mandible reddish brown (Fig. 488); tegula reddish brown (Fig. 480) with apical small portion yellowish. Head. Head entirely uniformely punctate with medium sized punctures (Fig. 487); HW 1.54 × least distance between eyes; mandible without preapical denticle (Fig. 488); clypeus with its median extension straight (Fig. 488); POD 2.27 × LOD and 0.8 × OOD; scape, pedicel and first flagellomere mostly shiny, setae sparse (Fig. 492); second flagellomere with its apical small region smooth and shiny; other flagellomeres with thick setae; length of scape: pedicel: Fu 1: Fu 2: Fu 3: Fu 4: Fu 5: Fu 6: Fu 7: Fu 8: Fu 9: Fu 10 = 0.354: 0.139: 0.142: 0.150: 0.152: 0.152: 0.151: 0.152: 0.211: 0.218: 0.221: 0.294 (Fig. 492). Mesosoma. Dorsal side of pronotum anteriorly with strong carina, most of area with punctures and posterior area with impunctate area (Fig. 490); lateral side of pronotum with distinct transdiscal groove, aciculations above the groove and striations below (Fig. 491); tegula brown translucent with apical portion yellow translucent, length of tegula 1.37 × as long as its middle width (Fig. 490); mesoscutum with its notauli not connected to anteriomedian escarpment, punctures closely placed and distributed mainly in median area (Fig. 490); scutellum with large punctures on posterior margin and scattered ones at anterior part (Fig. 490); metanotum with punctures distributed mainly in lateral side (Fig. 490); dorsal side of propodeum entirely finely shagreened with small scattered punctures (Fig. 490), with strong submarginal carina laterally (Fig. 490); lateral carina of areola sigmoid in shape (Fig. 490); second cubital cell of fore wing with an outwardly directed straight spur (Fig. 493); hind tibiae inflated, inner side with evanescent carina, hind basitarsus without groove on inner surface. Length of mesosoma: 1.97 mm. Metasoma. All tergites smooth and shiny with punctures, distribution of punctures less in Gt 1 compared to others (Fig. 494); pygidium with basal lateral parts rugose punctuate and middle region with small punctures, apical half smooth (Fig. 494). Length of metasoma: 3.18 mm. Male. Unknown. Discussion. As per the key of Allen 1975, this new species comes close to Tiphia capillata Allen & Jaynes in having mandible without preapical denticle; clypeus bidentate; tegula translucent orange, hind basitarsus without groove, but this new species distinctly differs from T. (T.) capillata in the following characters: metanotum not densely punctate, with punctures on lateral side (in T. (T.) capillata, metanotum densely punctate); submarginal carina of dorsal side of propodeum present (in T. (T.) capillata, submarginal carina of dorsal side of propodeum absent); lateral side of pronotum with well-developed transdiscal groove (in T. (T.) capillata, lateral side of pronotum with weak or vestigial transdiscal groove). Distribution. India (Tamil Nadu). Etymology. The species name is derived from ‘Sahyadri’, the vernacular name for Western Ghats where the type specimens were collected., Published as part of Hanima, Raveendran K.

Description. Holotype, ♂. Body length 7.12 mm. Paratypes, ♂. Body length: 6.12–8.1 mm. Colour. Body black with other parts as follows: Tegula with upper part dark brownish and lower part yellowish (Fig. 223); veins brownish (Fig. 226); antenna beneath (Fig. 225), palpi (Fig. 221) and tarsi of fore and mid legs light brown (Fig. 219). Head. Head irregularly punctate with coarse punctures, punctures adjacently placed on lower frons than upper frons (Fig. 220); HW 1.9 × least distance between eyes; POD 2.47 × LOD and 1.24 × OOD; median extension of clypeus bidentate (Fig. 221); mandible without preapical denticle (Fig. 221); length of scape: pedicel: Fu 1: Fu 2: Fu 3: Fu 4: Fu 5: Fu 6: Fu 7: Fu 8: Fu 9: Fu 10: Fu 11 = 0.296: 0.106: 0.130: 0.152: 0.152: 0.153: 0.151: 0.154: 0.152: 0.153: 0.155: 0.154: 0.388 (Fig. 225). Mesosoma. Anterior pronotal carina of dorsal side of pronotum with long buttressing ridges (Fig. 223); pronotum, mesoscutum and metanotum with moderate sized punctures; lateral side of pronotum without transdiscal groove, upper part with aciculations, lower part with ridges (Fig. 224); tegulae with length 1.3 × its middle width (Fig. 223); areola of propodeum tricarinate with length 1.86 × apical width and 1.25 × basal width, median carina of areola extending to apex (Fig. 223); dorsal side of propodeum without submarginal carina (Fig. 223); mesopleuron anteriorly with coarse punctures and posteriorly with small punctures (Fig. 224); lateral side of propodeum on upper part with widely spaced rugulae (Fig. 224); fore wing with marginal cell greatly longer than second cubital cell in apical extension (Fig. 226); wings hyaline (Fig. 226). Length of mesosoma: 1.93 mm. Metasoma. Gt 1 without anterior transverse carina and with sparse less punctures, other tergites with almost uniformely arranged punctures (Fig. 227); metasoma 1.8 × mesosoma; Gs 5 with lateral denticle; Gs 6 with sparse setae (Fig. 228). Length of metasoma: 3.35 mm. Genitalia. Paramere with a stalk and rounded flat apex covered with setae; digitus pointed apically; cuspis slender and beak-like apically and covered with short setae; aedeagus folded completely (Figs 229–231). Female. Unknown. Discussion. As per the key of Allen (1975), this new species comes close to T. (T.) nathani Allen in the following characters: clypeal extension bidentate; mandible without acutely pointed preapical denticle; metanotum coarsely punctate; Gt 1 without anterior transverse carina but this new species distinctly differs from T. (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. (T.) nathani, preapical band with punctures coalesced anteriorly where they are bordered by faint transverse escarpment); antennal flagellum yellowish orange beneath (in T. (T.) nathani, antennal flagellum completely black. Distribution. India: Karnataka, Tamil Nadu. Etymology. The species name is derived from the hyaline character of fore wing., Published as part of Hanima, Raveendran K.
