EAF4FDA38B065C1980F5CE21728BA48F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. On the basis of fore wing venation (3 SR vein shorter than 2 SR vein), elongated pterostigma (Fig. 1 C), and its short and broad petiole (Fig. 1 D), E. antennalis sp. nov. belongs to the Ephedrus persicae species group (Gaerdenfors, 1986). However, the long 12 - segmented antennae (Fig. 1 A) distinguish the new species from all the members of the Ephedrus persicae group, as well as from all other congeneric species.	en	Tomanovic, Zeljko, Petrovic, Andjeljko, Kocic, Korana, Ckrkic, Jelisaveta, Zikic, Vladimir (2020): Two new morphologically interesting species of the genus Ephedrus Haliday (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Aphidiinae).

EAF4FDA38B065C1980F5CE21728BA48F.taxon	distribution	Distribution and biology. Ephedrus antennalis sp. nov. was collected in the Western Caucasus Mountains of Russia, and that is the only locality where the species has been found to date.	en	Tomanovic, Zeljko, Petrovic, Andjeljko, Kocic, Korana, Ckrkic, Jelisaveta, Zikic, Vladimir (2020): Two new morphologically interesting species of the genus Ephedrus Haliday (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Aphidiinae).

EAF4FDA38B065C1980F5CE21728BA48F.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The new species takes its name from an unusual number of antennal segments (12), unique within the genus Ephedrus.	en	Tomanovic, Zeljko, Petrovic, Andjeljko, Kocic, Korana, Ckrkic, Jelisaveta, Zikic, Vladimir (2020): Two new morphologically interesting species of the genus Ephedrus Haliday (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Aphidiinae).

FB3E42BB4C6F514A9B15BD7C73FA6851.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. On the basis of fore wing venation (3 SR vein longer than 2 SR vein) (Fig. 2 F), this species belongs to the Ephedrus plagiator species group. The new species morphologically resembles E. validus in possessing a reticulated petiole (Fig. 2 G) and propodeum (Fig. 2 E) and a densely setose ovipositor sheath (Fig. 2 H), features that point to a subterranean habitat where it probably parasitizes root aphids. However, it differs clearly from E. validus in having wide and rugose notaulices along the dorsal side of the mesoscutum (Fig. 2 D) (vs. shorter notaulices reaching the first third of the mesoscutum in E. validus (Fig. 3 A )), second flagellomere approximately 3.2 times as long as wide (Fig. 2 C) (vs. 2.7 - 2.8 times as long as wide in E. validus (Fig. 3 B )) and a petiole approximately 1.35 times as long as wide at the spiracle level (Fig. 2 G) (vs. a more elongated petiole, 1.4 - 1.6 times as long as wide at the spiracle level in E. validus (Fig. 3 C )).	en	Tomanovic, Zeljko, Petrovic, Andjeljko, Kocic, Korana, Ckrkic, Jelisaveta, Zikic, Vladimir (2020): Two new morphologically interesting species of the genus Ephedrus Haliday (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Aphidiinae).

FB3E42BB4C6F514A9B15BD7C73FA6851.taxon	distribution	Distribution and biology. Ephedrus carinatus sp. nov. is known only from a historical record from Austria. We assume that it is a parasitoid of root aphid species.	en	Tomanovic, Zeljko, Petrovic, Andjeljko, Kocic, Korana, Ckrkic, Jelisaveta, Zikic, Vladimir (2020): Two new morphologically interesting species of the genus Ephedrus Haliday (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Aphidiinae).
