Introduction Hymenoptera are one of the most diverse The first recorded braconid species from insect orders worldwide, with more than Iran was from the early 20th century 152,677 known species (Aguiar et al. 2013). (Szépligeti 1901). Telenga (1936, 1941, 1955) Braconidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea) recorded several species for the Iranian is the second largest family of Hymenoptera, braconid fauna. Hedwig (1957) recorded 26 with 19,801 valid species belonging to 1,071 species of Braconidae from south eastern genera, but that probably is less than 20% Iran (Sistan & Bluchestan province), ten of of the total diversity worldwide (van which were described as new to science. Achterberg 2014). Members of Braconidae Subsequently, Hellen (1958), Mackauer are distributed in all zoogeographical (1960), Fischer (1963), Mirabzadeh (1968), regions (Yu et al. 2012). The majority of the Davatchi and Shojai (1969) and Starý (1974, species are parasitoids especially upon the 1975, 1979, 1981) added several species to larval stages of insect pests in the various this list. Many studies have been conducted orders including Coleoptera, Diptera, on the Braconidae fauna as scattered Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera (Shaw and reports by Iranian researchers (eg.

The braconid fauna of Iran has been subjected to extensive survey during the A total of 780 species of Braconidae are last decade (Rakhshani et al. 2004, 2005a–b, listed bellow.

Gnamptodontinae (1-4), Helconinae (5-9), Homolobinae (1-3), Hormiinae (4-10), The last checklist of the Iranian Braconidae Ichneutinae (1-1), Macrocentrinae (1-7), was published by Fallahzadeh and Saghaei Microgastrinae (8-102), Microtypinae (1-2), (2010), who listed 202 species. Lashkari Bod Miracinae (2-3), Opiinae (13-95), Orgilinae et al.

Subsequently, 550 braconid species Sigalphinae (1-1). Of them 34 species are were recorded from Iran in Taxapad (Yu et reported exclusively for Iranian fauna al. 2012). (Table 2).
