ARTICLE INFO Abstract: Article History Received:7 / 10 /2020 This paper deals with the fauna of braconid wasps Accepted: 30 / 11 /2020 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in Ardebil and East Azarbayjan provinces (Northwestern Iran). In total, 29 species spread over Keywords in 12 subfamilies viz., Agathidinae (Two species and two Braconidae, fauna, genera), Alysiinae (Three species and three genera), Aphidiinae , new records, (One species), (One species), Braconinae (One host and Iran. species), Doryctinae (One species), Ichneutinae (Two species and two genera), Macrocentrinae (One species), Microgasterinae (12 species and six genera), (Four species and one genus), and Opiinae (One species) were collected and identified. Thirteen species are newly recorded from the fauna of Iran. Data of reared species with host records are also provided.

Introduction larvae of Symphyta (Tobias, 1967; Braconid wasps (Hymenoptera, Shaw and Huddleston, 1991; Wharton, Braconidae) is a diverse group of 1993 and Whitfield and Wharton, with a worldwide 1997). Braconids are speciose with distribution (Wahl and Sharkey, 1993) 21,223 described species belonging to which have an important role in 1071 genera, which represent nearly biological control programs of many 20% of the total hymenopteran crop pests (Matthews, 1974 and Shaw, diversity worldwide (Yu et al., 2016). 1995). Most of the species are primary Faunistic knowledge of the family parasites, especially of larval instars of Braconidae in of Iran is largely Coleoptera, Diptera and . incomplete due to the lack of regional Other hosts include nymphs and adults studies and taxonomic complexity of of Hemiptera, Orthoptera, Psocoptera, this group in comparison with well- adults of aculeate Hymenoptera, and studied other western Palearctic
