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.
