ABSTRACT. A list of digger wasps species not recorded in the Catalogue of Hymenoptera of Russia for the European North of Russia is provided. In addition to species previously reported in various published sources, the list also includes data from digitized collections of the Zoological Museum of the Helsinki University and data from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) web portal for this area. Information on new finds of Spheciformes from recent years, made mainly in the territory of Karelia, has also been published. A total of 30 missing species were added to the Catalogue of Aculeata of the European North of Russia (N): one species of Ampulicidae, two species of Sphecidae, and 27 species of Crabronidae. Also 46 species of digger wasps were added to the Catalogue for NW: two species of Sphecidae, and 44 species of Crabronidae; one species was overlooked in the Russian fauna. Four species of Crabronidae are reported for the first time for Karelia, and two of these species are also new to the fauna of Russian Fennoscandia.
