A new species of the menes species group of Ceranisus Walker, 1841 (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae: Entedoninae) was described from Hatay, Turkey as a part of the work on thrips parasitoids of Turkey conducted in 2005-2009. The new species, Ceranisus amanosus Doğanlar, Gumovsky, Doğanlar was compared with the closely related species, Ceranisus menes (Walker, 1839), of the genus. The composition of the setal rows on the pregenital sclerites is proposed for the first time as a diagnostic charater separating two similar species in the genus. DNA sequences of 28S D2 (nuclear), Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI, mitochondrial) and Cytochrome B (CytB, mitochondrial) genes are provided for the new species as a barcoding data
