Description Lists are given of recently discovered insect and nematode parasites of the predators of insect pests of gramineous and leguminous crops in Andhra Pradesh, India. The predators were the coccinellid Menochilus sexmaculatus, which fed on mites, aphids and eggs and larvae of noctuids of the genus Heliothis; eumenids of the genus Delta, which also preyed on Heliothis larvae; the syrphid Xanthogramma scutellaris [Ischiodon scutellaris], which preyed on aphids infesting sorghum, maize and pearl millet; Chrysopa spp., which fed on aphids and eggs and small larvae of other insects on maize, sorghum, groundnut, safflower and mung bean [Vigna radiata]; and Mantis spp., which were general predators of insects on pigeon pea [Cajanus cajan].
