The identified wasps belong to four genera consisting of <em>Aprostocetus </em>Westwood, <em>Baryscapus </em>Föerster, <em>Sigmophora </em>Rondani, and <em>Stepanovia </em>Kostjukov, Tetrastichinae (Hym.: Eulophidae). Ten species are newly recorded for the Iranian fauna including <em>Aprostocetus arenarius </em>(Erdös), <em>A. cecidomyiarum </em>(Bouché), <em>A. diplosidis </em>Crawford, <em>A. epicharmus </em>(Walker), <em>A. fabicola </em>(Rondani), <em>A. fonscolombei </em>Graham, <em>A. lycidas </em>(Walker), <em>A. minimus </em>(Ratzeburg), <em>A. rhipheus </em>(Walker) and <em>A. zoilus </em>(Walker). <em>A. arenarius</em>, <em>A. diplosidis</em>, <em>A. epicharmus</em>, and <em>A. fabicola </em>are associated with <em>Diplolepis fructuum </em>(Rübsaamen) (Hym.: Cynipidae) on <em>Rosa beggeriana </em>Schrenk. <em>A. lycidas </em>is associated with both <em>D. fructuum </em>on <em>R. beggeriana </em>and <em>Artemisia sieberi </em>Besser. <em>A. cecidomyiarum</em>, <em>A. fonscolombei</em>, <em>A. rhipheus</em>, and <em>A. zoilus </em>are associated with <em>Ephedra major </em>Host<em>). A. minimus </em>is associated with leaf galls of <em>Salix alba </em>L. short taxonomic comments, biological data and geographical distribution of the species are briefly mentioned.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif"></span></p> ER -
