Abstract:

An overview of the twisted-wing insects for the South-Eastern Belarus is provided. Our own researches (2016–2021) of species compositions of the twisted-wing insects in South-Eastern Belarus were executed in different biotopes on the territory of Gomel area. Five species from two families – Hylecthrus rubi Saunders, 1850, Stylops hammella Perkins, 1918, S. melittae Kirby, 1802, S. thwaitesi Perkins, 1918 and Paraxenos sphecidarum (Dufour, 1837) – have been recorded.
