Abstract
We present two new distribution records which add information about the presence of Pseudotorymus ispirlii Doğanlar and P. pulchellus Masi (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Torymidae) in the northwest of Iran. Based on present records, both species were found for second times after type localities.
