Review of the genus Necremnus Thomson, ۱۸۷۸ (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) in Iran

Species of the genus Necremnus Thomson, ۱۸۷۸ (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) in Iran are reviewed based on published data and the newly collected specimens in West Azarbaijan province. The genus in Iran is represented by only two species N. leucarthros (Nees, ۱۸۳۴) and N. tidius (Walker, ۱۸۳۹). Hereby, two additional species N. artynes (Walker, ۱۸۳۹) and N. cosmopterix Ribes & Bernardo, ۲۰۱۵ are also identified as new records for the fauna of Iran. Necremnus tidius (Walker, ۱۸۳۹) was also found in Northwestern Iran as a new local distributional record. An illustrated key for identifying the known Necremnus species from Iran and a short description of the newly recorded species are provided. The distribution map of the Iranian species is also presented.
