Abstract
A checklist of Iranian Cryptinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) for all species recorded of Iran is given. The list is based on detailed studies of all available published data and some new collected samples. Until now 123 species in 42 genera belonging to 3 tribes of this subfamily have been known from Iran. Cryptinae is the most species-rich subfamilies of Ichneumonidae, and has a worldwide distribution. Two genera, Goryphus Holmgren, 1868 and Thaumatogelis Schwarz, 1995 were recorded for the first time for the Iranian fauna. Many parts of the country are still studied insufficiently or even not studied at all, so we suppose that the total species richness in Iran is essentially higher.

Abstract
The Ichneumonidae fauna of Kerman province, Iran, was surveyed in April 2013 to June 2014. In total, 35 species belonging to 22 genera and eight subfamilies were collected and identified, of which Cryptus armator Fabricius, 1804; Enizemum schwarzi Diller, 1987 and Barichneumon gaullei Berthoumieu, 1903 are new records for thefauna of Iran. An updated list of Ichneumonid species for Kerman province is presented. These data can be useful for biological control programs.

Abstract
The prey suitability for generalist predators is an important feature for efficient mass rearing and IPM. The green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) is a polyphagous predator attacking several pests on various crops. This experiment was conducted under laboratory conditions at 25 ± 2 °C, 60 ± 5% R. H. and a photoperiod of 16L: 8D h. The effects of different prey species were investigated on the pre-imaginal development, survival, adult longevity and fecundity of the green lacewing. The results indicated that duration of each pre-imaginal stage development and total development time in C. carnea were significantly affected by species of prey tested. The total developmental period was 19.63 ± 0.125, 20.63 ± 0.180, 22.06 ± 0.183, 22.35 ± 0.120, and 23.81 ± 0.356 days on Aphis gossypii (Glover), Myzus persicae (Sulzer), Aphis punicae (Passerini), Aphis fabae (Scopoli) and Aphis craccivora (Koch),respectively. The maximum mean fecundity per female of C. carnea was 478.50 ± 8.38 eggs recorded when fed as larvae on M. persicae followed by 409.33 ± 8.16 eggs on A. gossypii, whereas, the minimum of 242.78 ± 7.37 eggs was recorded when fed on A. craccivora nymphs. The longest female longevity was recorded for C. carnea fed on M. persicae. There was significant difference in adult longevity due to feeding on different preys. However, nymphs of M. persicae and A. gossypii were the best of the prey species tested, in that when fed on these species the pre-imaginal developmental period of C. carnea was shorter and its adult longevity, fecundity and percentage survival was greater than those fed on the other preys. These findings could be useful in defining more optimum conditions for the mass rearing of C. carnea in IPM programs.

Abstract
The present study provides information about the Cryptinae and Ichneumoninae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) species collected from Kerman province, during 2013. A total of 12 species belonging to 10 genera of these two subfamilies were collected and identified. They were Cryptus inculcator (Linnaeus, 1758); Dichrogaster longicaudata (Thomson, 1884); Dichrogaster saharator (Aubert, 1964) and Mesostenus albinotatus Gravenhorst, 1829 (subfamily Cryptinae); Anisobas cingulatellus Horstmann, 1997; Apaeleticus bellicosus Wesmeal, 1845; Barichneumon derogator (Wesmeal, 1845); Ctenichneumon devylderi (Holmgren, 1871); Ctenichneumon edictorius (Linnaeus, 1758); Diadromus collaris (Gravenhorst, 1829); Heterischnus filiformis (Gravenhorst, 1829) and Lysibia nana (Gravenhorst, 1829) (subfamily Ichneumoninae) of which the genus Apaeleticus Wesmael and three species including M. albinotatus, A. bellicosus and B. derogator are new records for the fauna of Iran. All species are new for the fauna of Kerman province.
