“…Some species of Platygastroidea were reported by Kononova & Kozlov (2008) from Turkey. Three species of Scelio Latreille, 1805 (Hymenoptera: Platygastroidea: Scelionidae) (Polaszek et al 2019) and Platygaster oebalus Walker, 1835 (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) (Kareem et al 2020) have been reported from Iraq. A new genus and species of platygastrid flies, namely Psix abnormis Kozlov & Le, 1976, were described from Afghanistan (Kozlov & Le 1976).…”

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.

In recent years, Nanotechnology has become the most promising new insect control method. In this study, laboratory experiments were applied to assess the efficacy of three commercial, Aluminium oxide (ANPs), Zinc oxide (ZNPs) and Nanoparticles Silicon oxide (SNPs) on second fifth-instar larvae and adults of Tribolium castaneum (Herb.) as well as the effect of Nanoparticles Silicon oxide (SNPs) on the fecundity of T. castaneum adult females. Beetles were fed on a diet of flour treated with nanoparticles SNPs, ANPs, and ZNPs at different concentrations (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) for each Nanocomposite. The results showed that SNPs and ANPs were significantly more effective than ZNPs at all tested concentrations after 15 days post-treatment. The results also confirmed that Nanoparticle SNPs have significant effects on the number of eggs lying, where the mean number of eggs produced by female adults exposed to dose-respond treated with Nanoparticle at the rate of 50 mg/kg was 0.0, compared with 98.1/ eggs in the control treatment. However, susceptibility showed significant differences in the mortality rate at the end of the experiments between second and fifth-instar larvae and adults treated by all three Nanocomposites. Second and fifth-instar larvae were most susceptible, while adults were least susceptible to nanoparticles. All Nanoparticles SNPs, ANPs, and ZNPs were significant and more effective on insect life at a higher concentration of 200 mg/kg, where the mortality proportion was 100%, 92.5% for 2nd , fifth instar larvae, respectively, and 77.5% for an adult after 15 days post-treatment. Moreover, the result showed that all nanoparticle SNPs, ANPs, and ZNPs can be applied as an alternative tool in the pest management programs of T. castaneum.
