Abstract: | In 2014–2015 a faunistical survey was carried out in Sălaj County, Romania by the Hungarian Natural History Museum in co-operation with the “Vasile Goldis” Western University of Arad. Here I report the results regarding ichneumon wasps (Ichneumonoidea: Ichneumonidae) and gasteruptiid wasps (Evanioidea: Gasteruptiidae). 67 species of ichneumon wasps and 4 species of gasteruptiid wasps were recorded from Sălaj County. Among them 6 ichneumon wasp species represent new records for the Romanian fauna: Thaumatogelis aloiosa Schwarz, 2001, Bioblapsis polita (Vollenhoven, 1878), Homotropus nigritarsus (Gravenhorst, 1829), Ophion costatus Ratzeburg, 1848, Megastylus orbitator Schiødte, 1937, and Stenomacrus merula (Gravenhorst, 1829). |
