The Iranian fauna of the subfamilies Acaenitinae, Banchinae, Campopleginae, Ophioninae and Tryphoninae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) with some new records

Abstract

This paper provides faunistic data for 24 species examined, belonging to 5 ichneumonid subfamilies: Acaentinae (6 species), Banchinae (4 species), Campopleginae (16 species), Ophioninae (4 species), and Tryphoninae (4 species). Of these, 6 species and 3 genera (Arotes, Coleocentrus, Procinetus) and 1 tribe (Coleocentrini) from Acaentinae, 4 species and 2 genera (Arenetra and Exetastes) from Banchinae, 7 species and 1 genus (Rhimphoctona) from Campopleginae, 4 species from Ophioninae and 4 species of Tryphoninae are new records for the Iranian ichneumonid fauna. Previously recorded species are also included. Distributional maps are given for all records. This study increases the number of known Iranian ichneumonids of Acaentinae to 7, Banchinae to 7, Campopleginae to 26, Ophioninae to 18, and Tryphoninae to 23 species.
