Review of the genus Opazon Haliday, 1857 (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae: Belytinae) in the fauna of Russia

Abstract

Russian fauna from Yamal Peninsula (this is the typelocality of the species) [Macek, 1995].During our study of material from the many localities in Russia and several neighboring countries, we have researched all known Palaearctic species, analyzed and estimated morphological variations and proposed original illustrate key to the Palaearctic species. The new key proposed here is adapted for determination Opazon species in the Eastern Palaearctic fauna (center and east of the European part of Russia, Ural, Siberia and Far East).
