The examination of recently collected material of Synacra species in the collection of The Natural History Museum, London (BMNH) and the author's collection (DGN) revealed the presence of Synacra paupera, a species of diapriid wasp new to Britain. This paper records the occurrence of S. paupera in Britain discusses its biology, European distribution and dispersal and establishes a link with previously existing information on its potential for biological control of sciarid fly pests in greenhouses (Notton, 1997).
