Discussion Most of the collected species in this research are parasitoids of agricultural pests and can be efficient biological control agents. Among the 24 recorded species, 14 species were collected from northern Iran, Golestan, Guilan and Mazandaran provinces (south of Caspian Sea); since these areas contain vast forests, various crop fields and ornamental, so these beneficial insects can be effective in biological control of various pests. Conservation of these natural enemies wi+11 result to decreasing of pesticides application in different agroecosystems (Flint & Dreistadt 1998). Determining of the hosts of these parasitoids is really important subject which must be attended in order to establishment of classical and applied biological control programs. The fauna of Iranian Chalcidoidea was studied rather well in several contributions. Among the 20 families of Chalcidoidea (Noyes 2017) thirteen of Iranian chalcidoids, Agaonidae (with two species: Ghahari & Van Noort 2011), Aphelinidae (with 138 species: Abd-Rabou et al. 2013), Chalcididae (with 42 species: Lotfalizadeh et al. 2012 - plus single new record in this work), Encyrtidae (with 180 species: Fallahzadeh & Japoshvili 2017; Guerrieri & Ghahari 2018 - plus seven new records in this work), Eulophidae (with 139 species: Ghahari 2015), Eupelmidae (with 31 species: Lotfalizadeh & Ghadirzadeh 2016 - plus five new records in this work), Eurytomidae and Torymidae (with 37 and 80 species respectively: Stojanova & Ghahari 2009; Fallahzadeh et al. 2009; Ghahari & Doganlar 2017 - plus two new records of Eurytomidae in this work), Leucospidae (with four species: Lotfalizadeh & Fakhrzadeh, 2012), Mymaridae (with 10 species: Samin 2015 - plus one new record in this work), Perilampidae (with two species: Samin 2015 - plus one new record in this work), Pteromalidae (with 227 species: Ghahari et al. 2015), Signiphoridae (with 11 species: Ghahari et al. 2014), and
