The study presents DNA barcoding results of five families of Hymenoptera in Germany. DNA barcodes are provided for 24 of the 25 species of Gasteruption occurring in Central Europe, including 18 of the 19 species recorded from Germany. The genetic diversity was higher than expected, with five species exhibiting two or more Barcode Index Number (BINs), whereas BIN sharing occurred in four species. Gasteruptionfoveiceps Semenov, 1892, stat. nov. is removed from synonymy with G.nigrescens Schletterer, 1885 and treated as a distinct species.
