Shailendra KumarAmogh | E.M. Ross | Prakash Michael

Abstract: The taxonomy of Pipunculids is largely neglected in India. Brunetti, 1912, 1915 & 1923 and Subramaniam, 1922 worked on Indian Pipunculids. Since 1923 no work was done on the Indian Pipunculids till 1971. Then Hardy, 1971, 1972 & with Delfinado, 1975 worked on Indian Pipunculids. Kapoor et. al 1977, 1985 & 1987 worked on Indian Pipunculids. Again Michael, 1997 worked on Indian Pipunculids. After that no work was done on taxonomy of Indian Pipunculids. The Present review will enable researchers to work in this field and to explore new species of Pipunculids.
