One new species of Anagyrini (Encyrtidae: Tetracneminae) Gyranusoidea vasantharaji Zeya, Ashraf and Yadav, sp. nov., is described from the specimens reared from the insect host Planococcus lilacinus (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha) infesting Ficus carica plantations in the Indian State of Karnataka. An identification key to Gyranusoidea Compere is also given. Five species viz., are newly recorded from the Indian states noted in parentheses: Anagyrus diversicornis(Howard) (Karnataka), Caenohomalopoda tahai Fatima and Zeya (Uttar Pradesh), Cheiloneurus nankingensis Li and Xu (Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka), Sakencyrtus mirus Hayat (Uttarakhand) and S. albiclavus Hayat (Uttarakhand).
