Abstract : Additional characters of the pronotum, subgenital plate and external female genitalia are suggested for use in the taxonomy of the genus Neochrysocharis, and a key to the Indian species of this genus is given. The 3 new species described comprise N. hyalinipennis sp.n., reared from an unidentified scale-insect on papaya; N. metallicus sp.n. from an unidentified scale-insect on mango; and N. pubipennis sp.n., reared from Pulvinaria maxima Green on Azadirachta indica.
