At a time when the loss of habitat and climate change is threatened by countless species, the discovery of a new species of parasitic wasps – named “losgna occidentalis” of Chandigarh, he pointed out the unexplored richness of the biodiversity of India.
A recent study published in Zootaxa, a reviewed scientific magazine for animal taxonomics, entitled – “Znovuscoovers and a description of the new Losgna (Cameron 1903): Recognition of the forgotten genus ichneumonide (Darwin Vose) in India” – describes new species in India. The new desici is described by the dry peeling forest in Chandigarh ”.
“The Lone Losgn (WASP) sample was taken from the window window in Chandigarh, during the winter 2023-24. This locality refers to any new insects formally described from Chandigarh. The sample is one of the parasitic wasps) Heinrich’s monograph from 1965. London, Hindu said.
“We named the new kind of“ losgna occidentalis ”because it represents the most vicious occurrence of the family: previous records came exclusively from the tropical forests of East India and neighboring regions of Southeast Asia.
They point out that the only existing specimens of any kind of losgna are those that are preserved in the natural historical museum, London, Hope collections, Oxford University and Zoologische Staatssammlung München (ZSM), Munich – Munich – all from the British era, 1965 and our study, and “. “
“As a researcher Hymenopter, I am enthusiastic about Losgna Occidentalis. It emphasizes the importance of solid taxonomic work and shows how young people and even citizens can find new species in their own court.
