“…The known assemblage of the Platygastridae in the country includes six species sporadically recorded from five provinces (Fig. 1A) (Ghahari & Hatami, 2000;Fallahzadeh et al, 2007;Ebrahimi, 2008;Buhl, 2015b) and 30 species recorded during more recent and intensive surveys of the northwestern provinces (Lotfalizadeh, 2018;Asadi-Farfar et al, 2016, 2020a, 2020b, 2021a, 2021b. The majority of the country remains unsurveyed.…”

“…For genera that have never been thoroughly revised in the Palaearctic, and for which many primary types have not been examined, this work must be done so that proper name usage is established. Very little was studied regarding the fauna of Platygastridae of Iran (Ghahari & Hatami, 2000;Fallahzadeh et al, 2007;Ebrahimi, 2008;Buhl, 2015b) until recent faunistic and taxonomic works in northwestern provinces revealed the presence of many species of Platygastridae, including new taxa (Lotfalizadeh, 2018;Asadi-Farfar et al, 2016, 2020a, 2020b, 2021a, 2021b.…”

Iranian species of the superfamily Platygastroidea (Hymenoptera) belonging to two families Platygastridae, (12 genera, 35 species) and Scelionidae (13 genera, 46 species), are reviewed. The recorded platygastroid species from Iran represent a very small assemblage of the world fauna, and certainly not the complete list from Iran. Except for a few recently described species, the others are found in many other countries as well. The known distribution for 27 species (77.1%) of Platygastridae of Iran is restricted to the Palaearctic region, while a smaller percentage was found in the Afrotropical (14.3%) and Nearctic (8.6%) regions. The distributions of 77.8% of Iranian scelionids are strictly Palaearctic, while the remaining scelionids were found also in the Nearctic (11.1%), Oriental (11.1%), Afrotropical (8.9%), Australasian (2.2%) and Neotropic regions (2.2%). Considering the sporadic treatment of platygastroids in Iran, it is evident that major parts of the country, including the eastern third, remain unexplored.

“…Only 11 species of the subfamily Platygastrinae have been reported in Iran (Ghahari & Buhl 2011). Lotfalizadeh (2018) and Asadi-Farfar et al (2020a, 2020b considered the family Platygastridae a poorly known group in Iran. Our recent collecting, especially from northwest Iran, led us to find some new records, as well as some new species.…”

The following four species new to science are described: Platygaster azarbaijanica Buhl & Asadi sp. nov., Platygaster lotfalizadehi Buhl & Asadi sp. nov., Platygaster karimpouri Asadi & Buhl sp. nov. and Synopeas calecai Buhl & Asadi sp. nov. Diagnostic characters are discussed, and figures are provided to distinguish the new species. In addition, ten species of Platygastrinae Howard, 1892 belonging to the genera Platygaster Latreille, 1809, Synopeas Förster, 1856 and Leptacis Förster, 1856 are reported as new records for the fauna of Iran. Four species of Platygaster and one species of Synopeas are recorded as ʻconferʼ.

The parasitoid wasp genus Trichacis Förster is revised for Europe. Examination of historical and modern collections combined with DNA barcoding revealed the presence of only a single species in Europe, Trichacis tristis (Nees, 1834), redescribed here. Fourteen new synonymies are proposed for T. tristis: T. abdominalis Thomson, 1859 syn.nov.; T. bidentiscutum Szabó, 1981 syn.nov.; T. didas (Walker, 1835) syn.nov.; T. fusciala Szabó, 1981 syn.nov.; T. hajduica Szabó, 1981 syn.nov.; T. illusor Kieffer, 1916 syn.nov.; T. nosferatus Buhl, 1997 syn.nov.; T. pisis (Walker, 1835) syn.nov.; T. persicus Asadi & Buhl, 2021 syn.nov.; T. pulchricornis Szelényi, 1953 syn.nov.; T. quadriclava Szabó, 1981 syn.nov.; T. remulus (Walker, 1835) syn.nov.; T. vitreus Buhl, 1997 syn.nov.; T. weiperti Buhl, 2019 syn.nov.. Four species are transferred to Amblyaspis Förster: A. afurcata (Szabó, 1977) comb. nov., A. hungarica (Szabó, 1977), comb. nov., A. pannonica (Szabó, 1977) comb. nov., and A. tatika (Szabó, 1977) comb. nov. Intraspecific variation, biological associations, and taxonomic history are discussed. DNA barcodes are provided and analyzed in the context of worldwide Trichacis and its sister genus Isocybus Förster.
