Abstract

In this research, totally 26 species of Braconidae (Hymenoptera) were collected and identified from some regions of Iran: Agathidinae (one species), Alysiinae (four species, three genera), Brachistinae (one species), Cheloninae (four species, single genus), Dirrhopinae (one species), Doryctinae (two species, two genera), Hormiinae (one species), Microgastrinae (six species, three genera), Opiinae (two species, two genera), Rhysipolinae (one species), Rhyssalinae (one species), and Rogadinae (two species, single genus). Five species, Apanteles kubensis Abdinbekova, 1969 (Microgastrinae), Dirrhope rufa Förster, 1851 (Dirrhopinae), Heterospilus (Heterospilus) austriacus (Szépligeti, 1906) (Doryctinae), Microchelonus (Microchelonus) luzhetzkji (Tobias, 1966) (Cheloninae), and Opiostomus (Jucundopius) impatientis (Fischer, 1957) (Opiinae) are new records for the fauna of Iran.
