Taxonomic, distributional and biological data are given. Two new species and one new subspecies are described. Eupelmus matranus Erdös is removed from synonymy under E. splendens Giraud and accorded specific rank; E. valentinus Bolívar is newly synonymized under E. testaceiventris (Motschulsky) and E. capillaris Bolívar under E. fuscipennis Förster.
