“…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.

The Palearctic species of the genus Fidiobia are revised, seventeen new species are described (F. bohemicasp. nov.; F. brevialissp. nov.; F. communissp. nov.; F. gallicasp. nov.; F. hirtasp. nov.; F. insoonaesp. nov.; F. lisenchiaesp. nov.; F. longiclavasp. nov.; F. nipponicasp. nov.; F. platystasioidessp. nov.; F. politoidessp. nov.; F. pronotatoidessp. nov.; F. roataisp. nov.; F. rugosifronsoidessp. nov.; F. sashaisp. nov.; F. tripotinisp. nov.; F. vladlubomirisp. nov.), and eleven species (F. brevinotaula Veenakumari et al., 2018; F. filicornis Buhl, 2014; F. flaviabdominalis Veenakumari et al., 2018; F. hispanica Popovici & Buhl, 2010; F. hofferi Kozlov, 1978; F. polita Buhl, 1998; F. pronotata Szabó, 1958; F. rugosifrons Crawford, 1916; F. striatitergitis (Szabó, 1962); F. synergorum (Kieffer, 1921); F. vanharteni Buhl, 2010) are redescribed. A key for identification of females and distributional data for each species are provided. Brachypterous specimens are reported for F. rugosifrons and F. hofferi. Fidiobia gordoni Popovici & Buhl, 2010 is treated as a junior synonym of Fidiobia striatitergitis (Szabó, 1962).

The platygastrid subfamily Sceliotrachelinae, while represented globally by numerous biologically important taxa, is generally poorly known for the Afrotropical region. It contains a number of species of economic significance, including some that attack hemipteran pests of citrus. Here we review the taxonomy of the subfamily for the region. We revise two enigmatic, endemic South African genera, Afrisolia Masner and Huggert and Sceliotrachelus Brues, providing illustrated identification keys to the species. Afrisolia anyskop van Noort & Lahey, sp. nov., Afrisolia quagga van Noort & Lahey, sp. nov. and Afrisolia robertsoni van Noort & Lahey, sp. nov. are described for this previously monotypic genus. Sceliotrachelus was previously known only from the two male type specimens of Sceliotrachelus braunsi Brues. Two new species, Sceliotrachelus midgleyi van Noort, sp. nov. and Sceliotrachelus karooensis van Noort, sp. nov., are described from the Eastern and Western Cape, respectively. The female of S. braunsi is described for the first time and additional distribution records for the species are documented. The putatively basal species, S. karooensis, exhibits less derived morphology than the highly apomorphic S. braunsi, necessitating reassessment of the limits of the genus. The exceptional morphology exhibited by species of Sceliotrachelus is hypothesized to be an adaptation to living in leaf-litter. We also revise the Old World species of Parabaeus Kieffer, describing a remarkable new species, Parabaeus nasutus van Noort, sp. nov., and provide an illustrated and updated key to the species. Fidiobia Ashmead is currently represented in Africa by seven described species to which we add Fidiobia celeritas van Noort & Lahey, sp. nov., a charismatic new species from South Africa. The distribution of the genus Isolia is expanded to include new country records for I. hispanica Buhl (Kenya) and an undescribed species from Madagascar. To facilitate the ongoing exploration and documentation of the African platygastrid fauna, an identification key to Afrotropical sceliotracheline genera and high resolution images of exemplar species for the remaining genera are provided. An overview of known species richness and biology is also included. All images presented here as well as additional images and interactive online Lucid identification keys are available on WaspWeb at http://www.waspweb.org.
