Macrohomotoma geniculata Mathur, 1975 View in CoL

Distribution. India: Karnataka ( Mathur 1975), Uttahakhand ( Mathur 1975).

Host plant. Ficus microcarpa (Moraceae) .

Comments. Hayat and Khan (2014) listed Macrohomotoma gladiata Kuwayama, 1908 (as gladiatum) on Ficus religiosa as host of the encyrtid Psyllaephagus punensis Hayat & Khan, 2014 from India: Maharashtra. This is a likely misidentification of another species, possibly not even of Macrohomotoma . There is no identification key for immatures of Macrohomotoma species and the authors apparently did not have adults at hand. M. gladiata occurs in China, Taiwan and Japan (Ryuku Islands) and has been introduced into the Mediterranean Basin and North America. It is monophagous on Ficus microcarpa .
