ABSTRACT. Two new species of the genus Adontomerus are described: A. trjapitzini Zerova, sp.n. and A. centaurei Zerova, sp.n. A. trjapitzini sp.n. is similar to A. centaurei sp.n., but differs in having shorter ovipositor, longer postmarginal vein and hind margin of the first abdominal tergite distinctly excised. Both new species resemble A. robustus (Bou?ek, 1970) and A. crassipes (Bou?ek, 1982) in their habitus and details of colour and sculpture, but differ in having slightly enlarged hind femora and in some features of forewing venation as well as in ovipositor length.
