For the first time, 2 new genera and 17 species of recent eulophid wasps, 8 species of recent ichneumonid wasps, as well as 8 genera and 8 species of fossil encyrtids, 3 genera and 5 species of fossil ants, and 1 species of fossil aphidiines-braconids were described. For the fauna of Ukraine, 1 subfamily, 3 genera, and 63 species of ichneumonids were recorded for the first time. Using molecular-genetic methods, the evolutionary history of chalcidoid wasps was analyzed, species of the genus Pauesia associated with aphids of the tribe Eulachnini on conifers were reviewed, and the possibilities of regulating insect vectors of the sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV), first discovered in agrocenoses of Ukraine, were investigated. A detailed study of fossil materials provided important results on the diversity and evolution of Hymenoptera, in particular, chalcidid wasps, braconids, and ants. New biological features of parasitic Hymenoptera, including trichogrammatids and ichneumonids, as well as new ecological features of diapriid wasps in Africa, were established. A comparison of the myrmecofaunas of different zoogeographic regions was made, their boundaries were outlined, and the main reasons for the differences in specific faunas were discussed. It has been shown that some ants can acquire the characteristics of invasive species in urbanized environments. Significant differences in the succession processes of myrmecofauna recovery after logging in the forests of Polissya and the Carpathians were revealed.
