Abstract
A review of the Palaearctic species of the Eurytoma cynipsea group with 15 species is given. A key to species is provided. A new species, Eurytoma melikai sp. n. from Iran, is described. Eu. melikai sp. n. is most closely related to Eu. hybrida Zer., but differs in the shorter and globular metasoma in the female and the thicker and darker marginal vein in both sexes. The type material is deposited in the collection of the Schmalhausen Zoological Institute, National Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, Kiev.
