Abstract

We present an annotated check-list of Pteromalidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) from Sakartvelo (the Republic of Georgia), updating the available information of these parasitoids. We identified 22 species belonging to 17 genera from 9 subfamilies – Asaphinae, Cero­cephalinae, Cleonyminae, Miscogastrinae, Pteromalinae and Spalangiinae. One species, Psilocera kartveli László et Kelemen sp. n., is described as a new for science, and the remaining 21 species are new records for the fauna of Georgia, from which 10 species are new for the Caucasus. All the 17 genera are recorded for the first time for the Georgian fauna. For each species, their biology and distribution are presented.
