The peculiarities of distribution of these groups of entomophagous insects, their trophic relationships and the nature of parasitism, are clarified. The trends of morphological and ecological evolution of chalcidoid wasps (of "eulophid complex" in particular) demonstrated for the first time, phylogenetic reconstructions based on morphological and molecular genetic data on a broad interactive matrix as an example cybertaxonomy, were conducted. A review of the genus Nikanorya of the world fauna was reviewed for the first time. The subfamily Telenomine were analyzed for the first time and this review was published as a separate monograph. as well as a monograph on the principles of the monitoring of ant genus Formica. These results show that both plant and herbivore species mediate the battleground on which competitive interactions between parasitoids are played out and may affect the outcomes of these interactions in ways that enable parasitoids to segregate their niches. This in turn may promote coexistence among parasitoid species that are associated with the same herbivore host. The biological characteristics, such as associations between parasitoids of Braconidae and their hosts were studied. Also, the introduced parasitoid Achrysoharoides robiniae, which is the natural enemy of the introduced pest Macrosaccus robiniella in Ukraine, was recorded for the first time in Ukraine. New data on ichneumonid-wasps in the Ukrainian Carpathians, including the parasitoids of xylophagous insects were supplemented: a review and new findings were reported for the pimplins, alomiyins, kampoplegins, xoridins and rhyssins. 90 recent and 2 fossil species of two new extinct genera vwere described. The concept of many groups of entomophagous insect of the fauna of Ukraine significantly expanded: these include the torymids, ormiryds, eulophids, trichogrammatids, mymarids, braconids-mikrogastrines, ichneumonids-metopiins, pimplins, rhyssins and anomalonins, braconids-aphidiins and ants. 28 species of parasitic Hymenoptera were recorded for the first time for the fauna of Ukraine. The collection of the Department increased by more than 18,000 specimens of entomophagous insects by the materials from: ichneumonoids - about 6,000 specimens, chalcidoyids - about 23,000 specimens, ants - about 4,000 specimens. The research results are reported in 60 scientific publications, including 3 books and 11 theses and 5 popular science articles.
