Abstract

The north-western European species of the glomeratus-group of Apanteles are revised. Sixty-four species are dealt with, of which twentythree are described as new. Two species, A. pieridis (Bouché) and A. pilicornis Thomson, are lifted from synonymy. Host records are based mainly on reared specimens examined by the author.
