ABSTRACT. Cirrospilus leleji sp.n. is described and illustrated from the south of Zabaikal’skii Krai. The new species is similar to C. brevis Zhu, LaSalle et Huang, 2002 by the mid lobe of the mesoscutum with one pair of strong setae placed near posterior edge and with not paired short light colored setae scattered over the entire surface of the mid lobe of the mesoscutum. The new species differs from the mentioned species by its darker body color, the mesosoma smooth with very fine engraved reticulation formed by delicate engraved lines and the propodeum without a median carina.
KEY WORDS: parasitic wasps, eulophids, taxonomy, new taxa, Palaearctic Region, Eastern Siberia.
