Abstract. Two new species of ichneumon-flies are described: Saotis caucasica sp. n. from North Caucasus, and Holarctic S. pygidiator with four subspecies (S. pygidiator pygidiator ssp. n. from Europe, S. p. ivan ssp. n. from Transbaikalia, S. p. arctor ssp. n. from northern Siberia, and S. p. nearctor ssp. n. from Alaska and Canada). S. pygidiator pygidiator is reared by J.-P. Kopelke from 3 species of Pontania, gall-forming sawflies (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae) on Salix spp.
