Abstract
Orgilinae is a small group of family Braconidae containing about 200 species globally including 4 Indian species. In the present work genus Orgilonia is recorded for the first time from India along with the redescription and illustrations of Orgilonia ashmeadi (Viereck, 1911). A new species Orgilus indicus sp. nov. is described from India, and a key to Indian tribes, genera and species with a checklist of Indian species belonging to subfamily Orgilinae is also provided.
