The superfamily Chalcidoidea (Insecta, Hymenoptera) contains in
excess of 26,000 described species worldwide, but with an estimated
total diversity of more than 500,000 species the vast majority of
species have yet to be discovered and described. Most chalcidoid
species are parasitoids of hosts in at least 12 different insect
orders, attacking the egg, larval or pupal stages, though
phytophagy and other life cycles and hosts are known. Iran is the
18th largest country in the world and has a rich and diverse insect
fauna, including Chalcidoidea. It is extremely interesting from a
biogeographic point of view, and a paradise for an entomologist.
This book summarizes the results of all prior research concerning
species diversity of Iranian Chalcidoidea, including host records
and distribution records by province in Iran as well as world
distribution by country for 1,351 species of Chalcidoidea recorded
from Iran through the end of 2019. The faunal diversity for each of
the 20 families of Chalcidoidea known from Iran is also compared
with that known for 15 adjacent countries. In addition, general
information on world diversity, recognition, phylogenetic
relationships and host relationships are given for each family. As
such, the book will be an invaluable source of information for all
those involved with chalcidoids, for anyone with an interest in
insect systematics, and all those working in crop protection,
especially biological control and Integrated Pest Management.
