44 Natura Somogyiensis Tribe Opiini Blanchard, 1845 Genus Opius Wesmael, 1835 Opius {Nosopoea) cingulatus Wesmael, 1835 Material examined: Khuzestan province, Izeh, 31 °54'N 49°59'E, 2$, April 2009, ex Phytomyza plantaginis Goureau, 1851 (Diptera: Agromyzidae). Distribution outside Iran: Armenia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Montenegro, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK. Opius {Nosopoea) speciosus Fischer, 1959 Material examined: Fars province, Eghlid, 30°53'N 52°41'E, 1$, April 2006. Distribution outside Iran: Armenia, Austria, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Hungary, Italy, Slovakia, Turkey. Subfamily Rogadinae Förster, 1862 Genus Aleiodes Wesmael, 1838 Aleiodes {Chelonorhogas)pallidicornis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1838) Material examined: Zanjan province, Abhar, SóHó'N 49°03'E, 2$, 26.viii.2013. New record for Iran. Distribution outside Iran: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Korea, Montenegro, Norway, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine. Discussion Finding two new records in this research indicates that the fauna of Iranian Braconidae has not been studied perfectly yet, in despite of several contributions recently (e.g. Samin et al. 2016, Peris-Felipo et al. 2016, Cortés et al. 2016) and also cataloguing of most subfamilies of Iranian Braconidae (Gadallah & Ghahari 2013a,b, 2015, 2016, Gad Allah et al. 2015a,b, 2016a,b). Additionally this paper is one of scant investigations which deals with the hosts of braconids in Iran. Totally 17 insect species from 3 orders Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and Diptera were identified as the hosts of braconid species of this research. Most published papers dealt with only introducing of collected species by Malaise traps and sweeping net without determining of hosts. Determining of parasitoid- host relationships will result to establishment of biological control programs step by step.
