Abstract: The taxonomy and distribution of the Palaearctic and Oriental genus Craspedometopon of the subfamily Pachygastrinae are revised. One new species (C. orientale sp. n.) is described, C. basale (Matsumura, 1915) is resurrected from synonymy and one new synonym of it (C. ussuricum Krivosheina, 1973) is documented. The three species of the genus treated are described in detail including their male and female terminalia as the most important distinguishing characters. Their relationships are briefly discussed. Craspedometopon basale shows an exclusively Palaearctic distribution in easternmost Russia, Korea and Japan, C. orientale sp. n. and C. frontale Kertész, 1909 seem to be extensively distributed throughout the Oriental Region. An identification key to the species of Craspedometopon is presented.
