Abstract

So far seventeen species of parasitic wasps have been reported on rose gall wasp Diplolepis fructuum (Rübsaamen) (Hym.: Cynipidae) in Iran (3). During study of this association in the northern part of West-Azarbaijan (northwest of Iran) two brachypterous eupelmid species were found. These species were identified as Eupelmus impennis (Nikol'skaya) and Eupelmus vesicularis (Retzius) that was confirmed by Dr. G. Gibson. These two species have not been reported from Iran and only two species Eupelmus fulvipes Förster, 1860 and Eupelmus urozonus Dalman, 1820 were reared on D. fructuum (3).
