D22687E0E3053A237A94C40D1AD22564.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Members of this genus have a cryptic morphology and patchy distribution across the Old World. Species within the genus exhibit a suite of diagnostic features including a distinctive antennal structure, reduced wing venation, and specialized metasomal modifications. Prior to this study, three species had been recognized based on morphological and geographical criteria, all from the Old World without any valid host associations.	en	Binoy, C., Sureshan, P.

However, it differs from P. infumata in having the fore wing hyaline without any central infumation (Fig. 27) vs fore wing with broad central infumation (Figs 11, 15, 18); POL 3.1 × OOL (Fig. 25) vs POL 2.0 – 2.5 × OOL (Figs 12, 18); antennal toruli located below the midline between median ocellus and clypeal margin, with the distance from the ventral margin of the torulus to the clypeal margin 2.16 × the distance from the ventral margin of the torulus to the median ocellus (Fig. 24) vs antennal torulus located midway between median ocellus and mouth margin, and ventral margin of the torulus to the clypeal margin 1.74 × the distance from the ventral margin of the torulus to the median ocellus (Fig. 16); and ovipositor sheath 0.8 × as long a metatibia (Fig. 30) vs ovipositor sheath 1.2 – 1.3 × as long a metatibia (Fig. 17). Propalachia odontomantiphaga resembles the Indian species P. beaveria in having the ovipositor 0.3 × as long as the body. However, it differs in having the female antennal flagellum bicoloured (Fig. 20) vs antennal flagellum often dark, brown (Fig. 1); metacoxa entirely pale yellow (Fig. 26) vs metacoxa pale yellow with elongate blackish spot on the outer side (Fig. 3); thoracic dorsum slightly convex (Fig. 20) vs thoracic dorsum flat (Fig. 1); propodeum coarsely reticulate, without cross costula medially (Fig. 23) vs propodeum with distinct though slightly irregular cross costula just before middle (Fig. 2); hind margin of Gt 2 broadly, shallowly emarginate, and dorsally about half as long as Gt 3 (Fig. 29) vs posterior margin of Gt 2 straight, and Gt 3 distinctly longer than Gt 2 (Fig. 2). Propalachia odontomantiphaga resembles P. borneana in having the ovipositor sheaths at most 0.7 × as long as the length of metatibia.
