The aphelinid genus Aphelinus is recorded for the first time from Portugal, with new records for eight species. Aphelinus daucicola Kurdjumov is recorded for the first time for the Iberian Peninsula and A. lusitanicus Japoshvili and Abrantes sp. n. is described as new. Aphelinus toxopteraphidis Kurdjumov is synonymized with A. varipes (Förster). Distribution, synonyms, and host information, where available, are given for each species treated.
