All type specimens are card-mounted. The holotype and the paratypes are deposited in the Hymenoptera Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest, Hungary). Diagnosis. Among the Western Palaearctic species of Campoletis Förster the new species most resembles to Campoletis scyticus Riedel, Campoletis annulata (Gravenhorst) or Campoletis zonata (Gravenhorst). Campoletis katalinarum sp. nov. differs from all Western Palaearctic Campoletis species by its relatively long gena (malar space as long as or slightly longer than basal width of mandible). Additionally, Campoletis katalinarum sp. nov. can be distinguished from Campoletis scyticus Riedel by its stouter second tergite, distinctly elevated ventral part of prepectal carina, and shape of area basalis and area superomedia; from Campoletis annulata (Gravenhorst) by colouration of legs, stouter hind femur, and shape of area basalis; from Campoletis zonata (Gravenhorst) by indistinct ventral part of genal carina, distinctly elevated ventral part of prepectal carina, shape of area basalis and area superomedia, position of costula, and colouration of legs. The new species is similar in the length of malar space with the Nearctic species (known from Greenland) Campoletis horstmanni Jussila, and with ...
