| Abstract | ||
| The present study provides information about parasitoid wasps of the family Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) collected from south of Kerman province. The specimens were caught using Malaise traps during April to September 2017. Totally 16 species belonging to 10 genera of encyrtid wasps were collected and identified. Among them, Cerchysiella Girault, 1914 and Charitopus Foerster, 1856 are new generic records for the fauna of Iran. Four species viz. Charitopus manukyani Sakhnov, 1993; Cheiloneurus submuticus Thomson, 1876; Mayridia myrlea (Walker, 1838) and Prionomitus tiliaris (Dalman, 1820) were recorded for the first time from Iran. Diagnostic characteristics are mentioned for the newly recorded species. In addition, biological associations as well as geographical distribution for all reported species are presented. An updated list of encyrtid wasps of Kerman province is also cataloged. | ||
