Pteromalids are small parasitic koinobiont wasps that grow on immature stages of other insects. Thus, they play an important role in most ecosystems, mainly as secondary or tertiary consumers. In the conducted surveys of pteromalid fauna in western and northwestern Iran, 37 parasitoids and hyperparasitoid species from 32 genera were collected and are presented here with the host records
