This paper reports the finding of the Hymenoptera Doryctinae Spathius vulnificus Wilkinson for the first time in\ Europe. This is an idiobiont ectoparasitoid attacking woodborer larvae of some Bostrichidae (Coleoptera) species. Such\ exotic parasitoid, mainly spread in the Oriental and southeastern part of the Palaeartic Region, has been intercepted in\ association with the lesser auger beetle Heterobostrychus aequalis (Waterhouse) (Coleoptera, Bostrichidae), imported\ from the Asian Far East in wood packaging material. This report represents an updating on the worldwide distribution of\ the parasitoid.

The species Rhoptrocentrus piceus Marshall (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) was reared from the larvae of the xylophagous beetle Psacothea hilaris hilaris (Pascoe) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), an exotic pest of Ficus and Morus species native to eastern Asia. It was recorded in the north of Italy in September 2005. This discovery is the first report of this species as parasitoids of the yellow spotted longicorn beetle all over the world.
