D91F87A01965D951FF99FCD7FCC1A7C9.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species is easily recognized by the black hind femur. Other notable characters are the long area superomedia, largely missing lateral longitudinal carinae of the propodeum and the lack of a basal light area of the hind tibia.	en	Haraldseide, Håkon (2021): Two new species of Meloboris Holmgren, 1859 (Campopleginae, Ichneumonidae, Hymenoptera) from Norway.

D91F87A01961D952FF99FF17FB24A4E3.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The new species is named in reference to its close affinity to the Meloboris collector - group of species.	en	Haraldseide, Håkon (2021): Two new species of Meloboris Holmgren, 1859 (Campopleginae, Ichneumonidae, Hymenoptera) from Norway.

D91F87A01961D952FF99FF17FB24A4E3.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species can be separated from other European species by the following combination of characters: Hind tibia without clear white basal and medial markings. Propodeum with complete areas. Rough (er) sculpture of mesopleuron and area petiolaris. Clypeus narrow, only about 0.5 times as wide as frons (female) and areolet sessile. M. pseudocollector sp. n. is undoubtedly very closely related M. proxima. Similarities can be seen in colour, rugosity, and characters of the male terminalia, but differ in important characters of the propodeum and (to a lesser degree) colour of the hind tibia.	en	Haraldseide, Håkon (2021): Two new species of Meloboris Holmgren, 1859 (Campopleginae, Ichneumonidae, Hymenoptera) from Norway.
