Abstract
Fifteen species belonging to ten genera of the encyrtid wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Encyrtidae) were collected in southern Iran and are presented here with the host records. Four species are newly recorded for the Iranian fauna: Blastothrix aprica Sugonjaev, 1964; Psyllaephagus belanensis (Hoffer, 1963); Psyllaephagus pulchellus (Mercet, 1921) and Anagyrus archangelskayae Trjapitzin, 1972. Some new host associations were found for 10 encyrtid species. Two misidentifications were corrected. Available biological data as well as geographical distribution for each species are also included.

Abstract
The digger wasps fauna (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) of Fars province in southern Iran was partly investigated. Members of three families: Pemphredonidae (5 species of 3 genera), Psenidae (3 species of 2 genera) and Philanthidae (2 species of 2 genera) were collected and documented. The following eight species: Diodontus brevilabris de Beaumont, 1967, D. crassicornis Gribodo, 1894, D. insidiosus Spooner, 1938, Passaloecus corniger Shuckard, 1837, Pemphredon inornata Say, 1824, Mimesa punctipleuris (Gussakovskij, 1937), Psenulus laevigatus (Schenck, 1857) and Cerceris spinifera haladai K. Schmidt, 2000, are new to the Iranian wasp fauna. In addition, two species: Psenulus schencki (Tournier, 1889) and Philanthus variegatus Spinola, 1839, are new records for Fars province. For each species, we include available distributional data as well as comments on its taxonomy and geographical distribution.

Abstract
Two cuckoo wasp species (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae), Trichrysis lacerta (Semenov, 1954) from the subfamily Chrysidinae, and Cleptes striatipleuris Rosa, Forshage, Paukkunen & Soon, 2015 from the subfamily Cleptinae, are newly documented for the Iranian fauna. The specimens were collected using Malaise traps in the Fars Province, south of Iran during 2015-2016. Notes about taxonomy, relevant references as well as geographical distribution of both species are given. The total number of Iranian Trichrysis and Cleptes currently increased to four and three species, respectively.

Abstract
We provide new findings on the distribution of 13 species of the family Gasteruptiidae (Hymenoptera, Evanioidea) collected at 17 sampling localities in Fars and Hormozgan Provinces, south of Iran. The specimens were collected using Malaise traps during 2013–2019. Two species, Gasteruption sericeipes Kieffer, 1911 and G. syriacum Szépligeti, 1903 are new additions to the Iranian wasp fauna. Furthermore, 10 species are new provincial records. With the present additions, the total number of gasteruptiids recorded from Hormozgan, Fars and Iran is currently raised to 2, 14 and 29 species, respectively. For each species, provincial distribution in Iran and overall distribution, as well as the flight period, are presented and discussed together with the available references.

Abstract
The purpose of the current research is to recognize the obstacles encountered in the advancement of urban tourism within the regions of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. The ongoing investigation is grounded on a qualitative approach alongside content scrutiny. The demographic under scrutiny comprises professionals hailing from the academic and organizational sectors. A series of semi-structured, open-ended interviews were carried out with a total of 12 individuals. The gathered interviews underwent a thorough review and assessment in order to delineate open codes, revise and remove codes that were alike, and designate categories pertaining to tourism challenges. Based on the findings derived from the qualitative analysis of 12 interviews, a total of 135 primary codes were identified. Through the process of merging and consolidating similar codes, over 117 primary concepts were extracted. Consequently, these codes gave rise to 29 dimensions. The difficulties associated with the advancement of urban tourism encompass a range of challenges, including inadequate transportation and communication networks, reliance on non-specialized personnel, scarcity of human resources, ineffective advertising strategies, deficient tourism infrastructure, insufficient investment, absence of a strategic plan, inadequate needs assessment protocols, lack of engagement from diverse sectors, failure to leverage successful practices, inadequate allocation of essential funds, inappropriate approach towards the region, inadequate security measures, seasonality of tourism, lack of information resources, inadequate training opportunities, cultural deficits, limited hospitality ethos, oversight of tourist attractions, subpar management practices, dearth of innovative approaches, unsatisfactory services, limited knowledge and understanding of tourism principles, underutilization of emerging technologies, marginalized role of tour guides, deficient comprehensive tourism strategies, disregard for environmental concerns, absence of a distinct tourism identity, and scarcity of tourism-related events.
