C o m m e n t. Only one species of genus <i>Toxares</i> is recorded in Europe (Yu et al., 2012). C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s. <i>T. deltiger</i> (fig. 9) is very similar to species of genus <i>Ephedrus</i> (fig. 5). The main difference is deltoid form of ovipositor sheath: the base is narrow and the apex is wide and trifid (fig. 9, <i>8</i>). In addition: 1) 2nd submarginal cell of <i>T. deltiger</i> forewing is rather long (fig. 9, <i>5</i>); 2) mesoscutal fovea (also present in some <i>Ephedrus</i> species) is very distinct (fig. 9, <i>3</i>); 3) there are crenulated lateral sutures on mesopleurae (fig. 9, <i>4</i>), that are absent in <i>Ephedrus</i> species; 4) <i>T. deltiger</i> has asterial (not rounded) excision on posterior margin of propodeum (fig. 9, <i>6</i>). H o s t s.

Forests, forest-steppe, wheat fields, riversides, parks, ruderal places (Starý, 1958; Powell, 1980). D i s t r i b u t i o n. Ukraine (Ternopol Region, first record).
