Genus Entomosericus Dahlbom, 1845

A small genus with three Palaearctic species (Schmid-Egger, 2000), two of them were recorded from Russia: Entomosericus concinnus Dahlbom, 1845 (SchmidEgger, 2000; Shkuratov, 2004; Shorenko, 2005; Mokrousov & Popov, 2016) and E.

kaufmani Radoszkowski, 1877 (Baghirov, 2010; Nemkov, 2011).

The re-identification of the specimens of E. kaufmani from Altai (Baghirov,

2010), show that they are Tachytes panzeri (Dufour, 1841) (Crabroninae: Larrini)

[BC]. The record of this species from South Ural (Nemkov, 2011) is based on mis-

identifed E. concinnus (V. Nemkov, pers. comm.). Thus, E. kaufmani is excluded from the Russian fauna.
