Contribution to the knowledge of the Chrysididae (Hymenoptera, Aculeata) in the south of Iran, with nine new records

In this study, fourteen species and subspecies in six genera of the family Chrysididae are listed from Hormozgan Province ofIran. Among them,Hedychridium femoratum(Dahlbom, 1854);Hedychridium virescens(du Buysson, 1908);Hedychridium verhoeffiLinsenmaier, 1959;Holopyga arabicaLinsenmaier, 1994;Holopyga vicissitudaLinsenmaier, 1994;Spintharina dubaiBohart, 1987;S.integerrima(Klug, 1845);Trichrysis scioensis(Gribodo, 1879); andT. longispina(Mocsáry, 1912) are recorded for the first time fromIran. Geographical distributions of all the species and morphological diagnostic characteristics of the newly recorded species are brieflydiscussed. The number of chrysidid species in Iran is now raised from 194 to 203.
