The subfamily Mesochorinae is a moderately large, cosmopolitan group of Ichneumonidae with almost 900 extant species, and more than 300 different taxa in the Western Palearctic region [Yu et al., 2012]. Members of this subfamily are endophagous obligatory hyperparasitoids that attack ichneumonids, braconids and tachinid larvae parasitizing a wide range of primary hosts [Gauld, Bolton, 1988]. In the Palearctic region, primary hosts are usually larvae of Lepidoptera or of Tenthredinoidea (Hymenoptera), and rarely adult Coleoptera [Schwenke, 1999]. The European mesochorines were recently revised by Schwenke [1999, 2000, 2002, 2004] who described a large number of new taxa. His descriptions, however, are very short and therefore difficult to use for an unequivocal determination. Horstmann [2006] has corrected some taxonomical mistakes and described a few new species. The European species of Astiphromma Förster, 1869 have actually been revised by Riedel [2015], the new males of two Astiphromma species described here were identified shortly after publication and could not be included in this revision. The mesochorine fauna of Russia has been addressed in several publications in the past [Woldstedt, 1873, 1881; Kokujev, 1927; Meyer 1927, 1929, 1930a, 1930b, 1935; Telenga, 1929; Roman, 1931; etc.], but a modern analysis including many Mesochorinae species described by Schwenke has not been performed so far for this area. ABSTRACT. In this faunistic survey, we give distributional records of 33 species of Mesochorinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) which have recently been collected in Northwestern Russia. Of these, 13 taxa are new for the Russian fauna, namely Mesochorus curvicauda Thomson, 1886, M. declinans Habermehl, 1922, M. diluvius Schwenke, 1999, M. errabundus Hartig, 1838, M. frondosus Schwenke, 1999, M. fulgurator Horstmann, 2006, M. haeselbarthi Schwenke, 1999, M. laricis Hartig, 1838, M. perticatus Schwenke, 1999, M. suomensis Schwenke, 1999, and M. tetricus Holmgren, 1860. Two unknown males of Astiphromma flagellator Riedel, 2015 and A. flavoventrale Riedel, 2015 are also described.
