Abstract
A morpho-biological review and analysis of the Palaearctic species of the robusta group of the genus Eurytoma is presented. The differences between the species of the robusta group and the other species-groups of the genus Eurytoma are described. The hosts of the species of the robusta group and their geographical distribution are listed. A key to 62 Palaearctic species of the robusta group is compiled. A new species, Eurytoma uzbekistanica sp. n. belonging to the robusta species-group and morphologically closest to Eu. nochurae Zerova is described from Uzbekistan. Photographs of the types of Eu. uzbekistanica sp. n., Eu. herbaria Zerova, Eu. ibaraca Zerova, Eu. paramygdali Zerova et Fursov, Eu. armenica Zerova et Fursov, and Eu. nagoya Zerova, and also of the non-type specimens of Eu. dentata Mayr, Eu. robusta Mayr, and Eu. pyrrhidii Erdös are given. The holotype of the new species and material of the other species discussed are deposited in the collection of I.I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Kyiv).
