Based mostly on various faunistic survey reports; no eurytomid or torymid species with collection records from Iran have previously been listed. Therefore; we did not intend to confirm identifications of previous studies, except in very obvious cases. A more comprehensive collection-based study is needed to confirm the actual Iranian occurrence of each species listed in this checklist. Introduction Materials and Methods In the Chalcidoidea, the family Eurytomidae The present checklist aims at reviewing as many with 1400 described species and the family references as possible to the Eurytomidae and Torymidae with 960 species are important in Torymidae, and listing every species with an regulating the populations of many insect species Iranian record. However; we did not intend to (Noyes 2008). For the Iranian fauna, studies of confirm identifications by previous workers Hedicke (1921), Boucek (1952; 1977), Nikolskaya except for very obvious cases. We follow the (1952) and Burks (1971) contain some faunistic classification and taxonomic arrangement of reports on Iranian Eurytomidae. Modares Awal Noyes (2008). (1997) cited eight valid species of Eurytomid wasps in his list of agricultural pests and their Results natural enemies in Iran. In recent years some Forty-three Eurytomidae species belonging to faunistic studies have been done on Iranian seven genera and 41 Torymidae species belonging Eurytomidae and some new species have been to 15 genera are listed as follows: described (Narendran and Lotfalizadeh 1999; Zerova et al. 2004; Lotfalizadeh et al. 2007; FAMILY EURYTOMIDAE Walker, 1832 Zerova and Seryogina, 2008; Zerova et al. 2008).
