2. An Indian species known to attack gall-inducing cecidomyiids.

Aprostocetus gala has also been recorded from India as a parasitoid of gall forming Cecidomyiidae (Diptera): the sorghum midge, Stenodiplosis sorghicola (Coquillett) (Kausalya et al. 1997; Nwanze et al. 1998), blossom midge ( Contarinia sp.) (David et al. 1990), and the mango gall midge, Erosomyia mangiferae Felt (Fasih & Srivastava 1990). Examination of specimens in the Natural History Museum, London indicates that these specimens are distinct from A. gala, and appear to represent a distinct species in the causalis group.
