description: <i>Areopraon silvestre</i> (Starý, 1971) M a t e r i a l. 1 &amp;female;, Donetsk Region, Slaviansk Distr., Bogorodichnoe [49°01'8.28'' N, 37°30'11.43'' E], glades on chalky slopes, 17.07.198 2 (A. Kotenko) (SIZK); 1 &amp;female;, Kyiv Region, Borodianka Distr., rail station “Spartak” [50°40'29.21'' N, 29°44'21.92'' E], deciduous forest, Tal riverside, sweeping on motley grass, 10.07.197 7 (A. Kotenko) (SIZK). Comment. Only one species of the genus <i>Areopraon</i> is registered in Ukraine. Five species are presented in European fauna (Yu et al., 2012). &amp;Scy; o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s. From other European species of the genus <i>A. silvestre</i> differs by (Tomanovi&amp;cacute; et al., 2006 b): 1) 19–20-segmented (rarely 17-, 18-, 21-segmented) antenna; 2) F1 4.0–4.5 times as long as median width; 3) stigma is 3.0–3.5 times as long as wide; 4) petiole 1.2–1.5 times as long as wide at spiracles level. Ukrainian specimens of <i>A. silvestre</i> (fig. 3, <i>1–6</i>) with 18–19-segmented antenna, F1 4.3 times as long as median width, stigma is 3.3–3.5 times as long as wide, petiole 1.2–1.3 times as long as wide at spiracles level. <i>Areopraon</i> species may be confused with species of the genus <i>Praon</i> (fig. 3, <i>7–12</i>). <i>A. silvestre</i> clearly differs from <i>Praon</i> species in: 1) carinated propodeum; 2) subquadrate petiole; 3) sharper and more densely pubescent ovipositor sheath without conical spines on the apex. H o s t s. Species of <i>Periphyllus</i> genus: <i>Periphyllus acericola</i> on <i>Acer platanoides</i>, <i>A. pseudoplatanus</i>; <i>P. aceris</i> on <i>Acer opalus</i>, <i>A. platanoides</i>; <i>P. hirticornis</i> on <i>Acer campestre</i>, <i>A. opalus</i>; <i>P. testudinaceus</i> on <i>Acer campestre</i>, <i>A. platanoides</i>, <i>A. pseudoplatanus</i>, <i>Acer</i> sp.; <i>Periphyllus</i> sp. on <i>Acer campestre</i>, <i>A. platanoides</i>, <i>A. pseudoplatanus</i> (Starý, 1971, 2006; Tomanovi&amp;cacute; et al., 2006 b; Starý, Lukáš, 2009; Yu et al., 2012). H a b i t a t s. Mixed forests (Starý, 2006; Starý, Lukáš, 2009), deciduous forests, parks (Starý, 2006), glades on chalky slopes, riversides. D i s t r i b u t i o n. Ukraine (Donetsk and Kyiv Regions, first records). Europe: France, Switzerland, Germany, Norway, Finland, Serbia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Slovakia (Starý, 2006; Starý, Lukáš, 2009; Yu et al., 2012).
