Parasitic wasps operate at a high trophic level and, because of their biology, tend to be highly specialized, sometimes having very narrow host ranges with at least local monophagy a frequent outcome. With attention to the high importance of superfamily Chalcidoidea in biological control programs of most ecosystems, the fauna of these beneficial insects was studied. A total of 69 species from 7 families including Eurytomidae, Torymidae, Ormyridae, Pteromalidae, Encyrtidae, Eupelmidae and Signiphoridae was identified. In this paper, the hosts of some parasitoids are given too.Keywords

Ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) have an effective role in pest control in rice fields. The fauna of these beneficial insects in the rice fields of Northern Iran (Mazandaran Province) was studied based on sampling (pitfall trap and sweeping net) through 2003-2006. Based on the conducted surveys, 27 species of 19 genera and 12 subfamilies were collected and determined. Among these species, 20 species are newly recorded from Iran. Harpalus (Pseudoophonus) rufipes (DeGeer), Harpalus (Harpalus) smyrnensis Heyden, Calathus (Calathus) fuscipes Goeze and Scarites (Parallelomorphus) subcylindricus Chaudoir are the dominant species in the rice fields and surrounding grasslands.Keywords

Lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) are one of the powerful and dominant predators in cotton fields and also other agroecosystems. The fauna of these beneficial insects was studied in cotton fields and surrounding grasslands of Iran through 2000-2006. Totally, 40 species from 17 genera (including Adalia, Anisosticta, Brumus, Chilocorus, Clitostethus, Coccinella, Cryptolaemus, Delphastus, Exochomus, Hippodamia, Nephaspis, Nephus, Oenopia, Propylea, Rodolia, Scymnus and Stethorus) were collected from different regions of Iran.Keywords
