description: <i>Diaeretus leucopterus</i> (Haliday, 1834) M a t e r i a l. 1 &amp;female;, &amp;Kcy;yiv Region, Borodianka Distr., near Klavdievo [50°35'15.01'' N, 29°59'56.49'' E], sweeping in the forest (<i>Betula</i>, <i>Pinus</i>) and on fern in a swamp, 23.05.197 6 (&amp;Acy;. Kotenko) (SIZK). C o m m e n t. Three species of the genus <i>Diaeretus</i> are known worldwide, and <i>D. leucopterus</i> is the only one species present in the Palearctic Region (Yu et al., 2012). &amp;Scy; o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s. <i>D. leucopterus</i> (fig. 4) morphologically is similar to species from monotypic genus <i>Diaeretiella —</i> <i>D. rapae</i> M’Intosh, from which it differs by:1) antenna with 16–18segments; 2) mesoscutum without notauli; 3) shorter radial vein of forewing: its length equal to stigma width; 4) propodeum with transverse carina and without central areola; 5) petiole with slightly visible longitudinal tubercle and without central carina; 6) almost square ovipositor sheath, not thinned to the apex; 7) form of the apex of ovipositor sheath. H o s t s. Species of <i>Eulachnus</i> genus on <i>Pinus</i> are the main hosts: <i>E. agilis</i>, <i>E. mediterraneus</i>, <i>E. rileyi</i>, <i>E. thunbergii</i>, <i>E. tuberculostemmatus</i> (Starý, 1976, 2006; Tobias, Chiriac, 1986; Davidian, 2007; Starý, Lukáš, 2009; Yu et al., 2012). In addition, there is an information about <i>D. leucopterus</i> parasitizing on <i>Cinara piniformosana</i> and <i>Schizolachnus pineti</i> on Pinus, and on <i>Mindarus abietinus</i> associated with coniferous trees. <i>Brachycaudus cardui</i> and <i>Schizaphis graminum</i> are also mentioned as host species, but these data have not been confirmed in latest publications (Yu et al., 2012). H a b i t a t s. Mixed forests, pine forests, coniferous forests edges, parks (Starý, 2006). D i s t r i b u t i o n. Ukraine (&amp;Kcy;yiv Region, first record). Europe (except North Europe), Near East (Israel), Asia: Central (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan), Eastern (China, South Korea, Japan), Southern (India), and South-Eastern (Thailand) (Tobias, Chiriac, 1986; Davidian, 2007; Yu et al., 2012).
