The genus Vadumasonium Kammerer, 2006 (Braconidae: Brachistinae: Diospilini), formerly known only from the Nearctic region, is revised and a second species is described from England and Germany: V. vardyorum sp. n. The genus is new to the Palaearctic region and we report the first host record for the genus. A key to similar genera of the Diospilini and to both species is given
