Abstract

Two species of Cleonyminae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Pteromalidae), Chalcedectus sinaiticus (Masi, 1936) and Notanisus vanharteni Gibson, 2015 were found for the first time in Iran. These species were collected from south of Iran. Notanisus vanharteni was reared on Dorema ammoniacum (D. Don.) and C. sinaiticus was collected by a Malaise trap.
