Sumario:Abstract. The genus Calymmochilus Masi, 1919 and the species C. dispar Bouček et Andriescu, 1967 are recorded for the fauna of Russia (the south-eastern regions of Dagestan, the North-Eastern Caucasus) for the first time. Species of this genus are not difficult to distinguish from other Eupelmidae. The best character for recognizing almost all European species is the unusually strongly protruding clypeus which is mostly denticulate on the anterior margin. Besides, the newly collected C. dispar is the only European species with brachypterous females. Data on the morphology, distribution and host-parasitoid interactions of the collected species are given.
