56 Natura Somogyiensis (2007), Dousti (2007, 2008), Dousti et al. (2008), Lotfalizadeh et al. (2008), Amiri et al. (2009), Ebrahimi et al. (2009), Hesami (2009), Saeedifar et al. (2010), Fallahzadeh et al. (2011), Fathi (2011), Mahmoudi et al. (2011), Rajabi et al. (2011), Yegorenkova et al. (2012), Ghahari (2012), Lotfalizadeh et al. (2012), Biparva et al. (2013) and Samin & Yegorenkova (2014). Talebi et al. (2011) completed the catalogue on the Iranian Eulophidae with 106 species belonging to 37 genera. Later the Iranian species number incraesed up to 122 by Hesami et al. (2011). After that one genus Neochrysocharis Kurdjumov and 6 species, Aprostocetus (Aprostocetus) pausiris (Walker, 1839), Cirrospilus diallus Walker, 1838, Hemiptarsenus ornatus (Nees, 1834), Neochrysocharis farmosa (Westwood, 1833), Oomyzuz sempronius (Erdős, 1954), and Pediobius nigritar- sis (Thomson, 1878)) were recorded by Ghahari & Yefremova (2013), and then 7 species, Chrysocharis pubens Delucchi, 1954, Pediobius eubius (Walker, 1839), Dicladocerus westwoodi Westwood, 1832, Miotropis unipuncta (Nees, 1834), Sympiesis viridula (Thomson, 1878), Aprostocetus pygmaeus (Zetterstedt, 1838) and Neotrichoporoides viridimaculatus (Fullaway, 1955) were recorded by Samin & Yegorenkova (2014) for the fauna of Iran. Material and methods Specimens were collected by sweeping net, Malaise trap which were completed by rearing from various hosts in incubator, in optimum condition (26±2 °C, 65±5 %RH, 14: 10 L: D). The host species and their parasitoids were collected from cultivated and non- cultivated plants in different areas. Additionally, materials of various insect collections were also studied. The specimens were identified by Dr. Z. Yefremova (State Pedagogical University, Russia) and T.C. Narendran (University of Calicut, India). Classification and nomenclature we follow was established by Noyes (2012). Distributional data from outside Iran can be found in UCD (Universal Chalcidoidea Database, Noyes 2012), it is not discussed here in details. Results In this study, 25 species of 18 genera and three subfamilies are listed. Four species Chrysocharis pentheus (Walker, 1839), Chrysocharis pubicornis (Zetterstedt, 1838), Chrysocharis viridis (Nees, 1834) and Sympiesis flavopicta Boucek, 1958 are new records for the fauna of Iran. The list of species is given below with distribution data. Subfamily Entedoninae Genus Chrysocharis Förster, 1856 Chrysocharis laomedon (Walker, 1839) Material examined: Kerman province, Jiroft, 702 m, 1$, IX. 2009. Chrysocharis pentheus (Walker, 1839) Material examined: West Azarbaijan province, Piranshahr, 1447 m, 3$, VI. 2011. New record for Iran. Chrysocharis pubicornis (Zetterstedt, 1838) Material examined: Kerman province, Jiroft, 702 m, 2$, 2$, IX. 2009. New record for Iran.
