Scelionid wasps are arthropod egg parasitoids, many of which are relevant to global plant biosecurity. However, the scelionid fauna of Germany has not received much attention from professional taxonomists.Four genera and ten species are identified for the first time from Germany, including species of interest to agriculture and biological control. COI barcodes are provided for the first time for Baryconus europaeus (Kieffer) and Macroteleia bicolora Kieffer. Each species is illustrated and updated world distributions are provided. Implications for agriculture are discussed.Taxonomic Coverages
