The collected samples were prepared using the AXA standard method. The identification of species based on diagnosis morphological characteristics was used by valid identification keys and original descriptions. A total of 41 species belonging to 24 genera and 6 subfamilies were collected, of which 8 genera Harrizia Delucchi, 1962; Ischyrortyx Delucchi, 1956; Netomocera Bouček, 1954; Novitzkyanus Bouček, 1961; Psilocera Walker, 1833; Sedma Bouček, 1991; Stinoplus Thomson, 1878; Susteraia Bouček, 1972 and 13 species Colotrechnus subcoeruleus Thomson, 1878; Harrizia Mira Delucchi, 1962; Dinarmus altifrons (Walker, 1862); Homoporus pulchripes Erdös, 1953; Ischyroptyx ligusticus (Masi, 1922); Novitzkyanus cryptogaster Bouček, 1961; Psilocera obscura Walker, 1833; Sedma dispar Bouček, 1991; Stenoselma asiaticum Dzhanokmen and Herthevtzian, 1990; Stinoplus etearchus (Walker, 1848); Susteraia acerina Bouček, 1972; Syntomopus incurvus Walker, 1833 and Spalangia impuncta Howard, 1897 new reports for the fauna of Iran, also 5 species Oodera Punctata Rahmani sp.nov. from the cleonyminae subfamily; Norbanus brevispicula Rahmani sp.nov.; Norbanus densipilosus Rahmani sp.nov.; Norbanus brachymarginalis Rahmani sp.nov.; Norbanus flavitibialis Rahmani sp.nov. from the subfamily Pteromalinae were described for the first time for the world of science.
