| Abstract | ||
| During our studies on the family Pteromalidae in northern and southern areas of Iran, two genera and three species were recorded for the first time from Iran: Hemitrichus oxygaster Bouček, 1965 (Guilan Province), Platygerrhus affinis (Walker, 1836) (Guilan Province) and Rohatina monstrosa Bouček, 1954 (Guilan Province). Diagnostic characteristics are provided for the newly recorded species, as well as the recently reported species, Psilocera crassispina (Thomson, 1878) (Fars, Qazvin, and Guilan). In addition, a key to the Hemitrichus species in the Middle East and geographical distribution for all reported species in Iran are presented. | ||
