Abstract Five new species of Platygastridae associated with mango pests in India are described. Synopeas procon sp. n., S. temporale sp. n., S. mangiferae sp. n. and Inostemma oculare sp. n. parasitise mango leaf gall midges, Procontarinia spp. (Cecidomyiidae), while Inostemma apsyllae sp. n. is associated with the psyllid Apsylla cistellata (Buckt.). Notes on a further two species, the platygastrid Trichacoides indicus Jackson and the ceraphronid Aphanogmus sp., associated with Procontarinia are given. A key to separate these parasites as well as comments on their biology and distribution are presented.
