Fauna of the ichneumonid subfamily Tersilochinae of Belarus is reviewed. Eleven genera com-
prising 55 species have been recognized: Allophroides Horstmann (2 species), Aneuclis Förster
(5), Barycnemis Förster (10), Diaparsis Förster (6), Epistathmus Förster (1), Gelanes Horst-
mann (3), Heterocola Förster (1), Phradis Förster (5), Probles Förster (8), Spinolochus Horst-
mann (2) and Tersilochus Holmgren (12). One species, Probles dronkia Khalaim sp. nov., is de-
scribed as new to science, and 42 species are recorded from Belarus for the first time increasing
Belarus fauna of Tersilochinae almost 4.6 times.
