03A75614FFD7C85452BBFADB7BBE8CA4.taxon	discussion	Comments. The redescription of Sakencyrtus albiclavus Hayat is based on examination of paratype housed in ZDAMU and on original description given by Hayat (in Hayat, et al., 2008). S. albiclavus differs from S. mirus mainly by the following characters: frontovertex width 0.45 × head width; maxillary palp 3 - segmented, labial palp 2 - segmented; radicle and scape pale yellow, the later becoming white distally; pedicel F 1 – F 5 dark brown; F 6 and clava white; flagellum with almost uniform width of funicle, clava normal with apex rounded. In S. mirus: frontovertex width 0.36 × head width; maxillary palp 4 - segmented, labial palp 3 - segmented; radicle and scape yellow, apex of scape, and flagellum dark brown; F 2 – F 6 broader than long, clava obliquely truncate. This species also comes out close to S. bialbifuniculus sp. nov. but differs by the characters given under the comments of S. bialbifuniculus sp. nov.	en	Usman, Syeda Uzma, Zeya, Shahid Bin (2018): The genus Sakencyrtus Hayat (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Encyrtidae) from India with description of a new species.

03A75614FFD0C85D52BBFB7779E78CEC.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species name derived from the colour of funicular segments, F 5 and F 6 are white, therefore named as bi = two, albi = white, funiculus = funicle.	en	Usman, Syeda Uzma, Zeya, Shahid Bin (2018): The genus Sakencyrtus Hayat (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Encyrtidae) from India with description of a new species.

03A75614FFD0C85D52BBFB7779E78CEC.taxon	discussion	Comments. Sakencyrtus bialbifuniculus sp. nov. comes close to S. albiclavus Hayat in having similar funicular configuration and body sculpture but differs from that mainly in having following characters: scape 5.8 × as long as broad, F 5 white, clava 2.5 × as long as broad; forewing 4.3 × as long as broad, gradually narrowing beyond venation and with apex rounded; venation complex reaching the anterior wing margin; hindwing apically broadened and bulb-like; mid tibia 7.8 × as long mid basitarsus; ovipositor 0.69 × mid tibia. In S. albiclavus: scape 5.25 × as long as broad, F 5 dark brown, clava 3 × as long as broad; forewing 3.8 × as long as broad, narrowing distally and with apex pointed; venation complex does not reaching the anterior wing margin; hindwing wedgelike; mid tibia 6.6 × as long as mid basitarsus; ovipositor 0.90 × mid tibia.	en	Usman, Syeda Uzma, Zeya, Shahid Bin (2018): The genus Sakencyrtus Hayat (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Encyrtidae) from India with description of a new species.
