New records and additional data on Anomaloninae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) from Iran

The fauna of parasitoid wasps belonging to the subfamily Anomaloninae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) was investigated in the north central and southern parts of Iran. Specimens were collected using Malaise traps during 2010–2013 and identified based on morphological characteristics. Four species are newly recorded for the fauna of Iran: Erigorgus annulitarsis (Thomson, 1892), E. varicornis (Thomson, 1894), Therion circumflexum (Linnaeus, 1758), and Trichomma occisor Habermehl, 1909. In addition, 18 species are newly recorded at the provincial level. With these additions, the number of known Iranian species of Anomaloninae is raised to 50. Diagnostic characters and illustrations are provided for the newly recorded species and three previously recorded taxa, contributing to improved taxonomic knowledge of the group in the region.
