An annotated checklist of the Chrysididae from Uzbekistan is presented, including a revision of the bibliographical data and recently collected material. The known Uzbek cuckoo wasp fauna counts 201 species and four subspecies in 23 genera and two sub­families. One genus and 62 species are recorded for the first time for the country and six species resulted undescribed: Chrysis perfunctoria Rosa & Halada, sp. nov. (rufitarsis group), C. strejceki Rosa & Halada, sp. nov. (leachii group), C. storozhenkoi Rosa, Fateryga & Proshchalykin, sp. nov. (maculicornis group), Hedychridium frontipunctum Rosa & Proshchalykin, sp. nov. (flos group), Philoctetes gulbahra Rosa & Halada, sp. nov., and Spintharina zheztyrnak Rosa & Halada, sp. nov. We resurrect Chrysis gertabi Radoszkowski, 1891, stat. resurr. from the previous synonymy with C. mutabilis, and propose a new synonym C. hyrcana Semenov-Tian-Shanskij, 1967, syn. nov. of C. gertabi Radoszkowski, 1891.
