Abstract. The doryctine tribe Holcobraconini and its genus Zombrus Marshall, 1897 are recorded for the first time for Europe. Zombrus bicolor (Enderlein, 1912), which was previously known only from the East Palaearctic, is recorded for Kazakhstan (Almaty Province) and European part of Russia (Astrakhan’ Province) for the first time. A discussion about the content and distribution of the Holcobraconini genera and the Palaearctic species of the genus Zombrus, and a key to the Palaearctic species of Zombrus are provided. The redescriptions of the tribe Holcobraconini, the genus Zombrus and species Z. bicolor are given.

Key words: ectoparasitoids of beetle larva, taxonomy, redescriptions, first records, Europe, Kazakhstan, Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Doryctinae, Holcobraconini, Zombrus
