		<Abstract>During our studies on the family Diapriidae, three species of the genus &lt;em&gt;Zygota&lt;/em&gt; were collected and identified for the first time from Western Asia and the Middle East based on Iranian specimens: &lt;em&gt;Zygota abdominalis &lt;/em&gt;(Nees, 1834), &lt;em&gt;Z. nigra&lt;/em&gt; (Thomson, 1859), and &lt;em&gt;Z. ruficornis&lt;/em&gt; Curtis, 1831. A key to the Iranian species of the genus &lt;em&gt;Zygota&lt;/em&gt; and diagnostic characters for all newly recorded species are provided along with illustrations. In addition, a worldwide distribution map of the three species is also presented.</Abstract>
