Abstract
Neurocrassus serbicus sp. n. is described as a parasite of two species of long-horned beetles Phymatodes testaceus and Exocentrus punctipennis from the Kopljari site near the town of Arandjelovac in the Šumadija region of Serbia. The new species is morphologically similar to N. tesari Šnoflák, 1945, N. fabimaculatus Belokobylskij, 1993, N. crassinervis Belokobylskij, 1993, and N. rarus (Belokobylskij, 1982). A description of the new species is given in the paper, together with diagnostic characters that distinguish it from the indicated morphologically similar species.
