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