First Record of Diaparsis improvisator Khalaim, 2005 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Tersilochinae) from Iran

Abstract

Within the framework of a broader revisionary work on Ichenumonidae of Iran, we preliminarily studied the occurrence of Tersilochinae. Among the whole collected specimens during 2010-2011, there were specimens of this subfamily from Sistan and Baluchistan, Khorasan-e-Razavi and Kerman Provinces. Two species, Aneuclis incidens (Thomson, 1889) and Diaparsis (Pectinoparsis) improvisator Khalaim, 2005, were identified. D. improvisator is recorded from Iran for the first time.
