Probles
is a large predominantly Holarctic genus with about 50 species in the Palaearctic region (
Yu
et al
. 2016
;
Khalaim
et al
. 2013
, 2017;
Balueva
et al
. 2014
; Khalaim 2014;
Khalaim & Tereshkin 2019
;
Kasparyan & Khalaim 2021
), eleven species in
Mexico
(the fauna of America north of
Mexico
is virtually undescribed) (Khalaim & RuízCancino 2019), and several species in other regions of the world except South America and
New Zealand
(
Yu
et al
. 2016
). Twelve species are known from the Russian Far East (
Khalaim 2007

Khalaim & Tereshkin 2019
) and six species from
South Korea
(
Khalaim
et al

).
Ten species of

Probles
have been recorded as parasitoids of the beetle families
Attelabidae
,
Ciidae
,
Curculionidae
, Endomycidae and
Melandryidae
(
Horstmann 1971
,

).
