<jats:p>Using CO1 sequence analysis, we investigated the relationships of Western Palearctic and Nearctic <jats:italic>Cotesia</jats:italic> that spin aggregated cocoons in the shape of a ball, and as adults are morphologically very similar. The analysis included the conceptual taxa <jats:italic>C. tibialis</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>C. ofella</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>C. vanessae</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>C. ruficrus</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>C. xylina</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>C. yakutatensis</jats:italic>, as well as the newly described species <jats:italic>C. trivaliae</jats:italic><jats:bold>sp. nov</jats:bold>. The examined specimens of <jats:italic>C. tibialis</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>C. ofella</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>C. vanessae</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>C. ruficrus</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>C. trivaliae</jats:italic><jats:bold>sp. nov.</jats:bold> were collected in several European countries, and <jats:italic>C. xylina</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>C. yakutatensis</jats:italic> in Canada and the USA. Molecular analyses showed that <jats:italic>C. ruficrus</jats:italic> is not closely related to the other studied taxa. Based on the genetic distances as well as biology and morphology, <jats:italic>C. vanessae</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>C. ofella</jats:italic> are confirmed as solid taxa. The species <jats:italic>C. yakutatensis</jats:italic> comprises two entities. Having 8 haplotypes, <jats:italic>C. tibialis</jats:italic> also emerges as a species complex, divided into two clusters. With 26 detected haplotypes, <jats:italic>C. xylina</jats:italic> shows the highest diversity, being composed of three segregates. The conceptual species <jats:italic>C. tibialis</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>C. xylina</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>C. yakutatensis</jats:italic> seem to be species complexes containing several candidates for recognition as distinct species. One from the European <jats:italic>C. tibialis</jats:italic> complex is here described as new, and the impediments to be overcome before the description of further species are outlined.</jats:p>
