Nephus (Bipunctatus) bipunctatus (Kugelann) is a predator of Peliococcus kimmericus (Kiritshenko) (Hem.: Pseudococcidae) on Lactuca serriola L. in different parts of the Fars province, Iran. Some parasitized larvae of this predaceous ladybird were collected, and two parasitoid wasps, Homalotylus flaminius (Dalman) and H. sinensis Xu & He (Hym.: Encyrtidae), reared from these larvae in the laboratory conditions. These parasitoids, which are new records for Iran, were identified by Dr Zhihong Xu. Both species are solitary endoparasitoid and the relationship between them and their host are newly reported.
