Abstract
Caenocrepis arenicola (Thomson, 1878) (Hymenpotera: Pteromalidae) is a new record for Iran. A female specimen of this species was collected from south of Kerman province by sweeping net on Medicago sativa in November 2016. It is egg parasitoid of Pachycerus madidus (Olivier, 1807) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) which distributed in the Palaearctic region. Morphological characteristics and its geographical distribution are presented.

Abstract
The pteromalids fauna (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Pteromalidae) was studied in southern areas of Kerman province. The specimens were collected using Malaise traps and sweeping net during March 2016 to August 2017. Seven species of Pteromalidae collected and identified. Among them, four species viz. Halticoptera andriescui Mitroiu, 2005, Ksenoplata quadrata Bouček, 1965 (Miscogastrinae), Systasis parvula Thomson, 1876 (Ormocerinae) and Spalangia nigroaenea Curtis, 1839 (Spalangiinae) were recorded for the first time from Kerman province. The genus Rhicnocoelia is newly recorded from Iran, represented by a single species, Rhicnocoelia impar (Walker, 1836). A brief discussion is given for the Miscogastrinae, Ormocerinae and Spalangiinae fauna of Kerman province.

Abstract
The present study provides information about parasitoid wasps of the family Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) collected from south of Kerman province. The specimens were caught using Malaise traps during April to September 2017. Totally 16 species belonging to 10 genera of encyrtid wasps were collected and identified. Among them, Cerchysiella Girault, 1914 and Charitopus Foerster, 1856 are new generic records for the fauna of Iran. Four species viz. Charitopus manukyani Sakhnov, 1993; Cheiloneurus submuticus Thomson, 1876; Mayridia myrlea (Walker, 1838) and Prionomitus tiliaris (Dalman, 1820) were recorded for the first time from Iran. Diagnostic characteristics are mentioned for the newly recorded species. In addition, biological associations as well as geographical distribution for all reported species are presented. An updated list of encyrtid wasps of Kerman province is also cataloged.

Abstract
The family Macromesidae Graham, 1959, and the genus Epicopterus Westwood, 1833, from the family Eunotidae Ashmead, 1904, are recorded for the first time from Iran, by two species Macromesus amphiretus Walker, 1848, and Epicopterus choreiformis Westwood, 1833, respectively. Specimens were collected using Malaise traps during 2010–2011 from the Guilan and Qazvin provinces in north-central Iran. Detailed morphological characters of the newly recorded species are provided. The number of Macromesidae and Eunotidae species in Iran is newly raised to one and four species, respectively. An updated list of all known species of these taxa from the Middle East is also included.
