Summary:During the study of parasitoids of leafminer flies, some parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Eulophidae, including Cirrospilus variegatus (Masi), Diglyphus isaea (Walker) and Hemiptarsenus zilahisebessi Erdös were collected and identified, of which C. variegatus is a new report for Iran.
