    The genus Syntretus Foerster of the subfamily Euphorinae contains two subgenera ExoSyntretusBelokobylskij, 1998 and SyntretusFoerster, 1862 (Achterberg and Haeselbarth, 2003). The subgenus ExoSyntretus Belokobylskij is distributed in Palaearctic (Achterberg and Haeselbarth, 2003) and Oriental (Papp, 2006) regions. The species of the genus Syntretus are small parasitic wasps, which attack hymenopterous adults such as parasitoid wasps and bees. Their biology has been studied by Cole (1959) and Alford (1968).

    The subgenus ExoSyntretus are known as only five species in the world (Yu et al., 2012 and Papp, 2006). The species in Korea was studied by Papp (1992) and Ku et al. (2001). Syntretus (ExoSyntretus) elabsus (Papp) was described from North Korea by Papp (1992), and then reported from South Korea by Ku et al. (2001). Two species of this subgenus from Korea are recognized in this paper, and among them, Syntretus (ExoSyntretus) nevelskoii Belokobylskij, is the first record in Korea.

    In this study, we describe its diagnostic characters, and also provide world checklist, distribution and host information. All examined materials are deposited in the Science Museum of Natural Enemies (SMNE), Geochang, Republic of Korea. Terminology used in this paper follows van Achterberg (1993).
