A total of 256 species of 103 genera of ichneumon wasps (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) was collected in Cabañeros National Park (Central Spain), mainly by Malaise and Moericke traps. Fifty-two species and fifteen genera are reported from the Iberian Peninsula for the first time. The genus Macromalon Townes and Townes, hitherto only known from Nearctic and Oriental regions, is reported from the Palaearctic region for the first time. As a result of the study the Iberian fauna of the fifteen Ichneumonidae subfamilies is increased by 10%. Habitat, phenology and collected material for the new records are also provided.
