A contribution to the braconid wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from Iran

Abstract

In this faunistic paper, totally 24 species of Braconidae (Hymenoptera) were collected and identified from Alysiinae (5 species in 3 genera), Aphidiinae (2 species in 2 genera), Braconinae (4 species in 2 genera), Microgastrinae (4 species in one genus), Microgastrinae (3 species in 2 genera), Pambolinae (one species), Rhysipolinae (one species), Rhyssalinae (one species), and Rogadinae (3 species in 2 genera). Five species are new records for the fauna of Iran: Diaeretus leucopterus (Haliday, 1834) (Aphidiinae), Bracon (Glabrobracon) colpophorus Wesmael, 1838 (Braconinae), Apanteles (Dolichogenidea) punctiger (Wesmael, 1837) (Microgastrinae), Oncophanes (Oncophanes) minutus (Wesmael, 1838) (Rhyssalinae), and Clinocentrus caucasicus Tobias, 1976 (Rogadinae).
