Abstract

The Braconinae fauna of Kerman province (South-Eastern Iran) was studied from 2013 to 2017. A total of 23 species belonging to five genera were identified, of which three species, Bracon (Bracon) speerschneideri Schmiedeknecht, 1897, B. (Ophthalmobracon) lissothorax Tobias, 1967 and B. (O.) nocturnus (Tobias, 1962) are recorded for the first time for the fauna of Iran.
