Type sample of the new type WASP, Losgna Occidentalis collected from Chandigarh.
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 ”.

“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.
