Chalcids of the subfamily Pteromalinae (Hymenoptera, Pteromalidae) as parasitoids of the bark beetles (Coleoptera, Scolytidae) in the fauna of Russia and adjacent territories

Eighteen species of ten genera of bark beetle parasitoids were found in the fauna of Russia and adjacent countries. Sixteen species of the parasitoids are recorded as new to the faunas of Belarus, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and regions of Russia. An annotated list of nineteen species of pteromalids, with data on the material examined, geographic distribution, and hosts is given. New hosts are reported for five species of the bark beetle ectoparasitoids. An original key to eighteen species and ten genera of Pteromalidae parasitizing bark beetles is provided.
