Sakenin Chelav, H. et al.: A faunistic study on Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera) of Iran
18 Natura Somogyiensis Trichogrammatidae (with nine species: Modarres Awal 1997) were catalogued. Thus, with this research total number of species of Iranian Chalcidoidea has been reached to 876 (Fig. 2); of course since some families have not been studied perfectly so far, the mentioned number will be increased after updating the related checklists and new faunistic surveys. Conducting faunistic surveys on different families of Iranian Chalcidoidea is necessary for completing the list of Iranian species diversity. Nevertheless, very little attention has been paid till now to the hosts of the Iranian Chalcidoidea. In this research, in addition to the new records several other specimens were collected which are under identification.
