Tehran, I. R. Iran 2 Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zabol, I. R. Iran. ABSTRACT. A survey was conducted to identify the parasitic wasps of the subfamily Campoleginae (Hym.: Ichneumonidae) in Fars province (southern Received: 23 December, 2016 Iran) during February 2011 – August 2013. Specimens were collected using Malaise traps and sweeping nets. Two new record species of the genus Accepted: Cymodusa (Ichneumonidae, Campopleginae) were identified: C. longiterebra 7 February, 2017 Dbar, 1985 and C. australis (Smits van Burgst, 1913). An identification key, Published: morphological diagnosis and geographical distribution of Iranian Cymodusa 13 February, 2017 are provided.

(2017) First report of the genus Cymodusa (Ichneumonidae: Campopleginae) from Iran. Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, 3(2), 81–89. Introduction The family Ichneumonidae with 39 subfamilies of ichneumonid wasps that subfamilies and more than 23000 widely investigated from biocontrol described species is one of the largest aspects (Gauld, 1995; Quicke, 2015). The families in the class Insecta (Quick, 2015). genus Cymodusa Holmgren, 1859 is a In recent years, some studies about moderately large genus in this subfamily Ichneumonidae subfamilies from Iran (Kolarov & Yurtcan, 2008; Choi, Kolarov have been done (Mohammadi-Khoramadadi, & Lee, 2013). This genus contains about Talebi, & Zwakhals, 2013; Mohammadi- 42 described species from the Palaearctic, Khoramadadi & Talebi 2013; Amiri et al., Nearctic, Neotropical and Oriental 2015a, b; Amiri et al., 2016; Barahoei et al. regions (Yu, van Achterberg & Horstmann, 2013, 2014; Ghahari et al. 2014; Ghahari & 2012; Choi, Kolarov & Lee, 2013) but the Jussila, 2014; Sarafi et al., 2015), however majority of species are distributed in the subfamily Campopleginae has poorly Palaearctic region (Yu, van Achterberg & studied in our countries (Barahoei, Horstmann, 2012). Palaearctic species of Rakhshani & Riedel, 2012).

Dbar (1985) Amyl acetate for 12 hours (AXA) and divided the members of Cymodusa into finally placed on the filter paper for four species groups (jaceki group, drying (van Achterberg 2009). The dried leucocera group, australis group and specimens were then card mounted and convergator group). The australis group labeled. Morphological terminology includes eight species (e. g., C. australis predominantly follows Townes (1969) Smits van Burgst (1913), C. orientalis and (Yoder et al., 2010). Uchida (1956), C. longiterebra Dbar (1985), Microsculpture terminology follows Eady C. tibialis Dbar (1985), C. rufiventris Dbar (1968). Relevant literatures (Townes, 1970; (1985), C. aenigma Dbar (1985), C. parva Dbar, 1984, 1985; Kolarov & Coruh, 2008; Dbar (1985) and C. oculator Dbar (1985)) Kolarov & Yurtcan, 2008; Choi, Kolarov & in the Palaearctic region and three species Lee, 2013) were used for identification of the (e. g., C. dravida Gupta & Gupta (1974), C. specimens.
