Abstract
A survey on the subfamily Doryctinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in southern Iran during 2011–2013 led to determination of nine species belonging to five genera: Doryctes Haliday (2 species), Hecabalodes Wilkinson (1 species), Leluthia Cameron (1 species), Rhaconotus Ruthe (3 species), and Spathius Nees (2 species). The genus Hecabalodes and seven species, namely Doryctes inopinatus Belokobylskij, 1984, Hecabalodes radialis Tobias, 1962, Leluthia transcaucasica (Tobias, 1976), Rhaconotus aciculatus Ruthe, 1854, Rhaconotus kerzhneri Belokobylskij, 1985, Rhaconotus flavistigma Telenga, 1941, and Spathius exarator (Linnaeus, 1758) are recorded for the first time from Iran. An identification key is constructed for the collected species. Additionally, an updated checklist of Iranian Doryctinae wasps is provided.
