Abstract: (7 Views)
A survey on the fauna of Opiinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) was conducted in the north-central region (2010-2011) and Khuzestan Province, southwestern Iran (2016–2017). Specimens were collected using Malaise traps, leading to the identification of 32 species. Among these, Apodesmia ocellata (Wesmael, 1835), Opiostomus (Opiostomus) griffithsi (Fischer, 1962), and Xynobius (Xynobius) comatus (Wesmael, 1835) and Psyttalia (Psyttalia) romani (Fahringer, 1935) are recorded for the first time in Iran. Furthermore, twenty species are reported as new provincial records. A brief diagnosis accompanied by illustrations is provided for these new records in Iran.
