** Metapelma Westwood, 1835

* Metapelma nobile (Förster, 1860)

Material: Ropotamo River , 15.VIII.2012, 2 ♀ (Malaise trap) (St. Petrov) .

Sixteen eupelmid species belonging to 4 genera are herein presented. Of these, 4 species ( Anastatus giraudi , Eupelmus cicadae , E. linearis and Metapelma nobile ) and one genus – Metapelma , are new to the Bulgarian fauna. For 4 species data for new associations are pointed out for the first time.

With respect to the recently known data, the information above extends the range of some eupelmids. Newly established for Bulgarian fauna species are distributed mainly in Central and South Europe and for all of them these records are the most Southeastern localities of the areal ( Noyes 2015).

There is no information in the literature about host-parasitoid relationships for Eupelmus aseculatus and the rearing of the species from Aylax hypecoi ( Hymenoptera : Cynipidae ) galls on Hypecoum imberbe is new data.

Kalina (1981) bred Eupelmus impennis from Boucheella artemisiae (Bouché, 1834) galls ( Diptera , Cecidomyiidae ); in our study we reared over than 70 specimens from Lasioptera eryngii galls on Eryngium campestre and this result extends the information about host association of the species.

Eupelmus vesicularis and E. microzonus are polyphagous species with wide range of hosts from Coleoptera , Hymenoptera , Diptera and Lepidoptera orders ( Noyes 2015), but plant associations with Astragalus glycyphyllos and Eryngium campestre for the first species and with Dianthus giganteus for the second one are mentioned for the first time.
