Updated checklist of Iranian Opiinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Abstract

An updated checklist of Opiinae from Iran is provided including 101 species from 11 genera (Atormus van Achterberg, 1997, Biosteres Foerster, 1862, Eurytenes Forster, 1862, Fopius Wharton, 1987, Indiopius Fischer, 1966, Opius Wesmael, 1835, Phaedrotoma Forster, 1862, Pokomandya Fischer, 1959, Psyttalia Walker, 1860, Utetes Forster, 1862 and Xynobius Forster, 1862) belonging to two tribes (Biosterini and Opiini). Moreover, seven species Biosteres (Chilotrichia) punctiscuta (Thomson, 1895), Biosteres (Biosteres) remigii Fischer, 1971, Eurytenes (Eurytenes) abnormis (Wesmael, 1835), Opius (Hypocynodus) ponticus Fischer, 1958, Opius pygmaeator (Nees, 1811), Opius (Nosopoea) speciosus Fischer, 1959 and Phaedrotoma nitidulator (Nees, 1834) are recorded for the first time from Iran.

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

“…Braconid wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) with over than 21,000 described species worldwide (Yu et al 2016), are one of the most powerful parasitoids which have efficient role in biological control of different agricultural and forest pests (Waage & Greathead 1986, Shaw & Huddleston 1991, Wharton 1993, Quicke 2015. The fauna of Iranian Braconidae has been studied rather well (e.g., Gadallah & Ghahari 2013a, 2013b, 2015, 2016, Barahoei et al 2014, Gadallah et al 2015a, 2015b, 2016a, 2016b, Farahani et al 2016, Ghahari 2016, Beyarslan et al 2017, Samin et al 2018a, but since Iran is a large country comprises various ecosystems, several new species are expected to be discovered. The objective of this faunistic paper is to study of distribution of 24 braconid species in different regions and various ecosystems of Iran, and introducing of five new records for the fauna of Iran.…”

Нові знахідки Braconidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea) з Ірану, пам’яті Др. Максиміліана Фішера (7 червня 1929 – 15 червня 2019)

“…The fauna of Iranian Braconidae has been realatively well studied, so that all subfamilies have been identified (e.g., Gadallah, Ghahari 2013a;2013b;2017;Barahoei et al 2014;Gadallah et al 2015a;2015b;2016a;2016b;Ghahari 2016;Beyarslan et al 2017) and numerous species checklists have been also updated several times (Farahani et al 2016;Samin et al 2018a;2018b). The objective of the present study was to introduce a total of 14 species of Braconidae species as new records for the fauna of Iran.…”
