Abstract

A faunistic study of the tribe Spilomicrini Ashmead, 1893 (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae, Diapriinae) has been conducted in Iran. This study is based on the material collected using Malaise traps in various provinces of Iran, including Guilan, Mazandaran, Golestan, and Markazi. The genus Paramesius with one species and Spilomicrus with four species are documented and illustrated for the first time from Iran: P. rufipes Westwood, 1832, S. bipunctatus Kieffer, 1911, S. brevimalaris Huebner & Chemyreva, 2023, S. rufitarsis Kieffer, 1911 and S. stigmaticalis Westwood, 1832. A key to Iranian Spilomicrini is provided.
