Abstract
Izadizadeh M., Talebi A.A., Kolyada V., Farahani S., Kazerani F., Ameri A. - Review of the family Proctotrupidae (Hymenoptera Proctotrupoidea) in Iran. As a result of this study on proctotrupid wasps in Iran, 15 species belonging to seven genera were identified. Among them, seven species are new records for the Iranian fauna: Mischoserphus obesus Townes, 1981, Pschornia minora Townes, 1981, Exallonyx certus Townes, 1981, Exallonyx longicornis (Nees, 1834), xallonyx confusus (Nixon, 1938), Exallonyx pallidistigma Morley, 1922 and Exallonyx subserratus Kieffer, 1908. The genus Pschornia Townes, 1981 is recorded from Iran for the first time and Pschornia persica Izadizadeh, Kolyada & Talebi sp. nov. is described as new for science. The number of species of Proctotrupidae in Iran is now raised from 18 to 26. Diagnostic characters of the newly recorded species are provided along with illustrations. A key to all genera and species of Proctotrupidae known in Iran, as well as a distribution map of all species throughout the world, is presented. Key Words: identification key, distribution, Pschornia, abundance
