Abstract
The eulophid genera Dermatopelte Erdös & Novicky and Iniostichus Kamijo & Ikeda are reported for the first time from India. Two new species, Dermatopelte striata n. sp. and Iniostichus proximus n. sp. are described and illustrated. A revised key to the Indo-Malayan species of Dermatopelte and a key to the extant species of Iniostichus are included.
