Samplings carried out in Velika Dobron’, West Ukraine, between 2014 and 2016 using volatile-baited traps provided data on insect biodiversity, including Hymenoptera. Of the 39 Hymenoptera species recorded, 17 are reported for Transcarpathia for the first time, representing a significant contribution to the knowledge of the regional fauna. Furthermore, the tested phenylacetaldehyde- and isoamyl alcohol-based lures showed attractiveness and different selectivity to different Hymenoptera taxa. These findings support the parallel use of such lures in standardized quantitative surveys and in targeted sampling of specific Hymenoptera taxa.
