Abstract
The present study provides information about parasitoid wasps of
the family Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) collected from south of
Kerman province. The specimens were caught using Malaise traps during
April to September 2017. Totally 16 species belonging to 10 genera of
encyrtid wasps were collected and identified. Among them, Cerchysiella
Girault, 1914 and Charitopus Foerster, 1856 are new generic records for the
fauna of Iran. Four species viz. Charitopus manukyani Sakhnov, 1993;
Cheiloneurus submuticus Thomson, 1876; Mayridia myrlea (Walker, 1838)
and Prionomitus tiliaris (Dalman, 1820) were recorded for the first time from
Iran. Diagnostic characteristics are mentioned for the newly recorded species.
In addition, biological associations as well as geographical distribution for all
reported species are presented. An updated list of encyrtid wasps of Kerman
province is also cataloged.
