| Abstract | ||
| Campoletis Förster, 1868 is a relatively large genus of the parasitoid wasps of the subfamily Campopleginae (Hym.: Ichneumonidae) containing more than 100 described species worldwide (Riedel, 2017; Yu et al., 2012). Members of this genus parasitize mainly larvae of the families Noctuidae and Geometridae and less common of Pyralidae, Pterophoridae, Zygaenidae and Drepanidae. Some species have been known as the most important biological control agents of crop pests such as Heliothis spp. (Quicke, 2014). The wasps of this genus have a body length of about 5-9 mm with a prominent tooth at apical edge of clypeus in most species (Fig. 1A, B). There have been recorded six species of this genus from Iran (Davatchi & Shojaei, 1968; Masnadi-Yazdinejad et al., 2010; Riedel, 2017). Here, one another species of this genus is newly reported from Kerman province, Iran. Specimens of this species are deposited in the insect collection of Department of Plant Production, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources of Darab, Shiraz University, Iran. | ||
