This paper is an addendum for the availability of the names of 11 new species proposed in Al khatib et al. (2014).

Eupelmidae de Iberia y las Islas Canarias: Check list comentada de las especies, incluyendo la descripción de una nueva especie de <em>Calosota</em> Curtis, 1836 y de los machos previamente no reconocidos de algunas especies

“…Ratzeburg, 1844† Eupelmus spongipartus Förster, 1860 Prior to the recognition of additional species in the 'E. urozonus complex' (Al khatib et al, 2015), specimens with a relatively long ovipositor sheath (about as long as the marginal vein) were identified as E. annulatus and those with a shorter sheath as E. urozonus. Eupelmus azureus, however, has a long sheath like E. annulatus; the two species are readily separable on the sculpturation of the scrobal depression which is mainly smooth and shiny in E. azureus but largely reticulate in E. annulatus (Al khatib et al, 2015;Gibson & Fusu, 2016 Gibson & Fusu (2016) identified E. confusus from Mallorca.…”

“…Al khatib, 2015 † This is the species associated with Ephedra in the Monegros region of Zaragoza, recorded under 'Eupelmus sp.' as a parasitoid of Blascoa ephedrae Askew (Hym., Pteromalidae) in the seeds (Askew & Blasco-Zumeta, 1997) and as a primary and secondary parasitoid of the gall-forming Eurytoma gallephedrae Askew (Askew & Blasco-Zumeta, 1998 (1♀ 27.vi.2009, Juncosa).…”

“…and from a gall of Diplolepis rosae (1♀ Aragón, Jaca, 1992, RRA). Al khatib & Fusu, 2015† Gibson & Fusu (2016 record a specimen from Ávila, Peguerinos, obtained by sweeping Pinus sylvestris, 26.viii.1994, JLNA. Masi, 1941 † In MNCN there are specimens reared by J.A.…”

“…The large genus Eupelmus Dalman, and the E. urozonus Dalman species complex, have been revised respectively by Gibson & Fusu (2016) and Al khatib et al (2014Al khatib et al ( , 2015, and species of Eupelmus in subgenus Macroneura Walker are the subject of continuing research by Lucian Fusu. European species of Calosota Curtis were reviewed, and Nearctic species revised, by Gibson (2010).…”

“…(Lep., Gelechiidae) collected from Tamarix canariensis, Lleida (Torres de Segre, AR). Delvare, 2015 † This recently described species was recorded from Spain by Gibson & Fusu (2016: 199). 1♀, 2♂♂ emerged from fruits of Betula pendula from Lleida (Les), collected by A.…”
