(Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Mymaridae), is described illustrated from a female preserved as compression in middle Eocene shale the Kishenehn Formation, Montana, USA. It compared to extant Neotriadomerus Huber, known only Australia, Triadomerus Yoshimoto, Cretaceous amber Canada. suggested...

A faunistic survey on the parasitic wasps of subfamily Pteromalinae Dalman, 1820 (Hym., Chalcidoidea, Pteromalidae) South-Eastern Iran (Kerman province) was done. In total 46 specimens representing 10 genera and 16 species are identified, among them, Dinarmus altifrons (Walker, 1862) Syntomopus incurvus Walker, 1833 recorded for first time fauna Iran. Previously from this area also reviewed lis...

Integrated taxonomy uses evidence from a number of different character types to delimit species and other natural groupings. While this approach has been advocated recently, and should be of particular utility in the case of diminutive insect parasitoids, there are relatively few examples of its application in these taxa. Here, we use an integrated framework to delimit independent lineages in E...
