477C87DAFF87CD30FF559D1DFC42E363.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The identification of Hedychridium biskranum is considered doubtful and the recorded specimens may refer to another species of the H. roseum species-group based on biogeographical data. At the moment, Hedychridium biskranum is known with certainty only on the holotype, collected in Biskra (Algeria) (Rosa et al., 2022). The identification was based on Linsenmaier’s (1999) key for the Chrysididae of Northern Africa, without type examination. However, the species concept is unclear because H. biskranum belongs to the most complicated species-group in the genus Hedychridium, and its description is challenging as it is based on variable diagnostic characters. Strumia et al. (2016 b) reported the discovery of an additional two specimens of H. biskranum collected in Türkiye. However, no further details such as descriptions, illustrations, or images were provided to substantiate their identification. We suppose that the specimens examined may belong to one of the other species recently described by Arens (2010) for Anatolia, and therefore not keyed in Linsenmaier (1999), or to a Central Asian species described by Semenov-Tian-Shanskij (Rosa et al., 2017 a). Strumia did not consider Semenov’s publications (Strumia & Fallahzadeh, 2015) and Arens’ work (2010).	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

The type was examined in Turin and matches the Iranian specimen for its outstanding diagnostic characters, such as the arched median vein of the anterior wing (straight in Hedychridium monochroum du Buysson, 1888), the length of the second tarsus of the posterior leg, much shorter than the third (as long as the third in H. monochroum); the mesosomal punctation with large and deep punctures when compared to the similar Hedychridium monochroum. The species is very likely distributed in all countries between Iran and Myanmar, as in the case of H. monochroum, but has never been recorded before for its small dimensions and probably for its unknown ecology and biology.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFF84CD33FFA49AE0FE44EE70.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Hedychridium monochroum is well known for being a chromatically variable species (Martynova, 2017), which is widespread and distributed from Western Europe to the Oriental region (Kimsey & Bohart, 1991). The finding of a sympatric subspecies, H. monochroum farsensis, in the same localities of H. monochroum monochroum arises some doubts on the real status of this taxon, considering that the very short description of farsensis is based solely on colouration. Waiting for molecular analysis and a morphological re-evaluation of H. m. farsensis, we consider it as one of the colour variations and therefore a synonym of H. monochroum.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFF82CD28FFA49C39FC6EE5F4.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The newly described Hedychridium personatum species-group can be immediately separated from other groups by the shape of the metapectal-propodeal complex, which is a key character. Only another species-group within Hedychridium, namely the plagiatum group, has a highly modified metapectal-propodeal complex not conform to the type species of the genus Hedychridium. It was already observed that the plagiatum group is the most basal of all the Elampini genera, based on multigene molecular analyses (Pauli et al., 2019) and we expect that also the personatum group can be considered as a monophyletic group. The classification of the genus Hedychridium requires major revision, including the revalidation of Semenov-Tian-Shanskij’s (1954) genera, currently placed in the synonymy of Hedychridium by Linsenmaier (1968) and Kimsey & Bohart (1991). The structure of the metapectal-propodeal complex was always neglected in the study of Chrysididae, but it is a key character, as in the sister family of Bethylidae (Kawada et al., 2015; Lanes et al., 2020), based on morphological examination of all the Old World species-groups.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFF9CCD2BFFA49BE3FE08EE70.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Hedychrum persicum was traditionally considered as a variety of Hedychrum rutilans (Linsenmaier, 1959 a). However, the recent examination of the type has allowed us to better understand the real taxonomic position of this species. Hedychrum persicum is clearly separate from H. rutilans and H. viridiauratum by the combination of the following diagnostic characters; body sculpture deep, larger and spaced; head profile rounded (Fig. 6 B) instead of triangular; body colour distinctly green, without red or golden areas (Fig. 6 A). This species can be immediately separated by all the other taxa related to H. rutilans by its unique punctation, which is deeper, larger and more spaced (Figs 6 D, F, 7 A) compared to H. rutilans from Europe and the other two closer taxa known from Middle East, H. rutilans viridiauratum Mocsáry, 1889 (Fig. 7 B) and H. rutilans veterrimum Mocsáry, 1914 (Fig. 7 C), with fine and dense punctation, well visible on metasomal terga. A recent molecular study (Rosa et al., 2023 b) revealed that the genetic distance between the two Western European subspecies of H. rutilans, namely rutilans s. str. and viridaureum Tournier, 1877, was sufficient to consider them as separate species (> 5 %), probably related to different host selection in their southern distributional range. We expect that further molecular analyses on all the varieties and subspecies of H. rutilans will provide similar results.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFF9ACD2EFFA498D6FB10E4C3.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Holopyga similis was synonymised by Bischoff (1913) with H. chrysonota (Förster, 1853). Rosa et al. (2020 b) pointed out that H. chrysonota is a different species and H. similis is the first available name for H. chrysonota sensu Linsenmaier (1959 a, 1968, 1987, 1997, 1999). Dahlbom’s (1854) name H. ignicollis [actually given as var. h] is invalid. Eversmann (1858: 549) was the first author to treat “ var. ignicollis Klug ” (the name given by Dahlbom (1854) to one of the specimens examined in Berlin) as a valid subspecific name, thus making the name available as a species-group name (ICZN, 1999: Article 45.6). As a consequence, Eversmann (1858) is the author of the species (Rosa et al., 2020 b).	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFF99CD2EFF559DA5FDE0E35F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Strumia & Fallahzadeh (2015) listed Holopyga cypruscula without subspecific rank. In the distributional range of this species, they listed “ Türkiye, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Iran (Linsenmaier, 1959 a) ”. Actually, only Cyprus is given by Linsenmaier (1959 a) as a locality of H. cypruscula. For other localities, Linsenmaier (1959 a, 1987) described other two subspecies, not mentioned by Strumia & Fallahzadeh (2015). We temporarily place this record under H. cypruscula detrita waiting for another examination of the studied material.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFF91CD27FF559FAAFD89E51B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Chrysis amerii sp. nov. belongs to the Chrysis succincta species group which includes medium to large species (5.0 – 9.0 mm) with apical margin of the third metasomal tergum edentate, bidentate, tridentate or quadridentate; scapal basin microridged in male, and completely polished and smooth in female; transverse frontal carina normally developed; black spots on second metasomal sternum various, usually covering large part of sternum. Chrysis amerii sp. nov. can be immediately separated by other species of this group by the combination of the following diagnostic characters: metallic blue body, with greenish spots at sides of second tergum (Fig. 9 E); apical margin of third tergum with a median protrusion, apically truncate (Fig. 9 D, E); transverse frontal carina double (Fig. 9 A), with the upper carina crescent and sharp medially; pronotum with shallow, barely visible antero-median depression, composed by short row of small punctures. Chrysis amerii can be separated from the other green to blue species of succincta group by simple apical margin of third tergum, with a single, median protrusion, whereas apical margin of C. robertsi Rosa, 2021 is quadridentate and apical margin of C. maidaquensis Strumia, 2014 is tridentate. Outside Iran, other blue species can be separated by Chrysis amerii sp. nov. for triadentate apical margin, such as C. minutissima Radoszkowski, 1876, or for quadridentate apical margin, as C. friesei du Buysson, 1900.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFAECD1AFFA4981BFD9DEE76.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Chrysis chamrosh sp. nov. belongs to the succincta group. It is closely related to the Central Asian Chrysis irenes Semenov-Tian-Shanskij & Nikol’skaya, 1954, known from Tajikistan, whose type is illustrated in Rosa et al. (2017 a, plate 67). Chrysis chamrosh sp. nov. can be separated by its colour pattern, an important diagnostic character in this species group (Linsenmaier, 1959 a; Rosa & Makris, 2023), by the shape of the apical margin of the third tergum, the pit row and the body punctation. The body colour is green with red to purplish areas on anterior margin of pronotum, mesonotum, metanotum and propodeum (Fig. 10 A) (vs. red only on mesonotum, with a small golden hue anteromedially on scutellum in C. irenes); the scapal basin is largely polished (Fig. 10 B) (vs. densely micropunctate laterally); the mesonotal punctation is spaced and shallow (Fig. 10 C) (vs. dense and deeper); the metasomal punctation is distinctly shallower and sparser in the second half of the tergite (vs. uniformly dense); the third tergum has small, shallow and spaced pits of the pit row (Fig. 10 E) (vs. pits of the pit row deep and elongate); the black spots on second sternum are fused medially in both species, but in C. chamrosh there is a greenish median spot before the apical margin (Fig. 10 F).	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFA5CD13FF549A0DFE5DE051.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Chrysis edentata sp. nov. belongs to the succincta group and is somehow related to Chrysis mavromoustakisi Trautmann, 1929 from Cyprus due to the general habitus, similar to Chrysis grohmanni Dahlbom, 1854 and without apical teeth on the last visible tergum. Also the short second flagellomere (shorter than the third) and male genitalia are related to C. mavromoustakisi, but the genital capsule of C. edentata is narrower, the gonostylus shorter and the apex of gonostylus simple, digitate, not bifurcate as in C. mavromoustakisi (Figs 16 A, B); apical margin of third tergum edentate, unmodified (Fig. 15 E), whereas in C. mavromoustakisi is pulled out, with elongate pits of the pit row (Fig. 16 G); black spots on second tergum medially fused in C. edentata, with straight margin, covering less than half sternum (vs. separate medially, with oblique margin and covering more than half sternum); besides other characters, also the colour pattern of Chrysis edentata sp. nov. is significantly different, being entirely green (Fig. 15 A) and clearly distinct from the contrasting red and blue colour of Chrysis mavromoustakisi (Figs 16 G, compare also the picture in Rosa et al., 2017 d: fig. 7 B).	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFA3CD16FF549831FBD3E7C1.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Strumia & Fallahzadeh (2015) listed Chrysis succincta Linnaeus for Iran; neverthess, the identification is based on females only. It is known (e. g. Linsenmaier, 1959 a, Rosa & Makris, 2023) that females of Chrysis succincta, C. tristicula and C. frivaldszkyi are impossible to be identified based on external morphological features. Since C. succincta is currently known with certainty only for the northern part of Central Europe, Scandinavia and part of Russia, the occurrence in Iran is doubtful. On the other hand, several similar species are found in Iran, in particular Chrysis frivaldszkyi seems to be very common and we suppose that Strumia & Fallahzadeh's specimens belong to this species. Strumia & Fallahzadeh (2015) postulated that these females could belong to C. prosuccincta. We exclude C. succincta from the checklist until male specimens of Chrysis succincta are found.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFA0CD09FFA49839FD89E51B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Chrysis heimi sp. nov. belongs to the maculicornis species group for the shape of the head with round profile; with very short malar space; transverse frontal carina with long branches downwards directed along inner margin of compound eyes; proximal flagellomeres short; apical teeth of third metasomal tergum well defined. Its particular colour pattern, one of the most spectacular in this family, is shared with the females of Chrysis blanchardi Lucas, 1849, which is distributed from the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco to Egypt, where two varieties were described, var. rubescens du Buysson, 1895 and var. abbreviaticornis du Buysson, 1895. At the moment, all these taxa, including Chrysis superba Tournier, 1879 (likely originated from Morocco) and C. fertoni du Buysson, 1895 are all considered synonyms of C. blanchardi (Kimsey & Bohart, 1991). Compared to these forms, Chrysis heimi sp. nov. can be immediately recognised by the black spots on the second sternum, which are differently shaped, being large, subtrapezoidal and connected to lateral margins (Fig. 19 F), whereas in taxa related to C. blanchardi they are very small and elongate, never connected to lateral margins. Moreover, it is diagnostic the combination of following characters: profile of the head sub-rectangular, with wider face (l / w = 0.7, ratio measured from margin of anterior ocellus to clypeus and the shortest distance between eyes) (vs. round profile with subsquare face, l / w = 0.6 in C. blanchardi); transverse frontal carina shallow, M-like, with two sinuosities (Fig. 19 B), medially curved downwards (vs. frontal carina sharp with three angles and three branches directed upwards in C. blanchardi, medially right angled upwards); apical metasomal margin with median teeth largely separate (vs. separated by narrow space in C. blanchardi); finally, body colour not exactly the same, as all vivid red parts in C. blanchardi are golden-greenish in C. heimi sp. nov.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFA0CD09FFA49839FD89E51B.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet heimi (masculine noun in genitive) is dedicated to René Heim (Luzern, Switzerland), for his generosity and unconditional help in the study of the Chrysididae collection of Walter Linsenmaier, friendly hosting PR in Luzern for twenty years of continuous research. The choice of this species is motivated by the colour pattern, similar to that of Chrysis gertiana Rosa, 2018, named after his wife Gerti, who prematurely passed away, and who also supported PR for several years.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFBBCD0CFF559DDAFE45E330.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Chrysis infantula Semenov-Tian-Shanskij and Chrysis nilensis Linsenmaier, 1959 (replacement name for Chrysis leachii var. cyanea du Buysson, 1908 a: 49, nom. praeocc., nec Villers 1789) are almost identical and possibly synonyms. We examined both female types in Paris and St. Petersburg and the main difference is found in the shape of the apical margin of metasomal third tergum. In Chrysis infantula the post pit-row area is longer and slightly concave in lateral view, whereas in Chrysis nilensis it is shorter and straight in lateral view. The first record examined for Iran (Rosa et al., 2013) was based on a male specimen. Examination of more material is needed to confirm the occurrence of Chrysis infantula or Chrysis nilensis in the country. In any case, the taxon observed in Southern Iran and identified as infantula by Rosa et al. (2013) and nilensis by Tavasoli & Fallahzadeh (2015) could belong to the same species.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFB8CD0FFFA49A56FE32EE5D.taxon	discussion	Remarks. All examined specimens of Chrysis maracandensis from Iran to Central Asia in several collections are males. Based on museum specimens and collecting localities, females of Chrysis maracandensis should be similar to Chrysis consobrina and to other species of the scutellaris group, yet any association was proposed before, and never observed in nature. Sex associations in this subgroup are still unclear and females of different species cannot be yet associated to the corresponding males. The specimens of Chrysis maracandensis (Fig. 22) from Iran are slightly different from the typical Central Asian form for the well-defined apical teeth of the third tergum, contrasting with the typical form with the two median teeth normally undulate. In this sense, the Iranian specimens of C. maracandensis could also be the so far unknown males of Chrysis subdistincta (see below). New taxonomic research should be addressed on this species-group, also with the help of molecular analysis, which can probably better associate the two sexes, otherwise difficult to observe in copula, for example, in nature.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFB5CD03FF559D95FE4BE002.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Chrysis mediasignata sp. nov. belongs to the leachii group which includes very small to small species (2.5 – 5.0 mm) with apical margin of the third metasomal tergum edentate or with a single median tooth; scapal basin broadly microridged in both sexes, whereas in the similar C. succincta group the female scapal basin is completely smooth; malar space short and convergent; faint transverse frontal carina; black spots on second metasomal sternum covering half-length or a larger part of the sternum. The male of Chrysis mediasignata sp. nov. can be immediately separated from other males of this group by unique shape of genital capsule, which is piriform, with apexes of gonocoxae convergent to aedeagus (Fig. 23 F) and with simple and slender gonostylus, unusually not apically bifurcate (Fig. 23 G). The female of Chrysis mediasignata sp. nov. can be separated from other similar females of this group by a green, median stripe on scutellum, becoming larger basally, contrasting the typical colouration of Chrysis leachii Shuckard, 1836. Colour pattern is an important diagnostic character for the identification of species in the leachii group as well as in the succincta group (Linsenmaier, 1959 a, Rosa & Makris, 2023).	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFB5CD03FF559D95FE4BE002.taxon	description	Description. Holotype ♂ (Fig. 23 A – G). Body length 3.7 mm, anterior wing length 1.9 mm (Fig. 23 A). Head. Brow between scapal basin and anterior ocellus with dense, irregular and somewhere confluent punctures, medium to large (about 0.4 – 0.7 × MOD), without interspaces (Fig. 23 B); similar sculpture between scapal basin and eye, with row of punctures aligned along eye, reaching clypeus and malar space; scapal basin deep, with sharp transverse ridges, shallower on longitudinal midline and medially weak on lower scapal basin; medial longitudinal line deep, starting from median pit and ending 1 × MOD to clypeus; vertex and head posterior to ocelli with smaller round punctures and narrow, polished interspaces; with small, deep fovea posterior to posterior ocelli; transverse frontal carina faint; genal carina sharp, straight, fully developed from mid-eye to mandibular insertion; subantennal space short, 0.5 × MOD; apex of clypeus arcuate upwards with dark brown rim. Clypeus medially polished; with row of small punctures apically, before apical rim. Distance between anterior ocellus and upper margin of scapal basin 2.1 × MOD. OOL 1.3 × MOD; POL 2.1 × MOD; MS 1.3 × MOD; relative length of P: F 1: F 2: F 3 = 1.0: 1.3: 0.7: 0.6. Mesosoma. Medial pronotal furrow shallow and reaching half of pronotal length (Fig. 23 C); pronotum as long as mesoscutellum, with deep punctures, irregularly sized from very small to medium size (0.1 – 0.5 × MOD); punctation on mesoscutum deep, both on median and lateral areas (Fig. 23 C); postero-medially with larger, irregular punctures; notauli formed by small, deep, metallic, sub-rectangular foveae, as large as half size of larger points on mesoscutum, decreasing anteriorly; parapsidal signum distinct; mesoscutellum with punctures similar to mesoscutum; scutellar-metanotal suture deep, formed by large foveae; posterior propodeal projection subparallel, punctate similarly as side of propodeum, pointing backwards; mesopleuron with episternal sulcus aligned foveae, as large as punctures on mesepimeron (Fig. 23 D). Metasoma. Metasoma with even, medium sized punctures, with narrow, polished interspaces dorsally, becoming wider at sides, with interspaces up to 1 puncture diameter; second tergum with weak longitudinal median carina (Fig. 23 D); apical margin of third tergum almost continuous, weakly angulate medially and with narrow, yet distinct, hyaline rim (Fig. 23 E); black spots on second sternum elongate, as long as three-quarters of segment length, medially widely separate. Colouration. Male blue with green hints on vertex, and green on anterior margin of pronotum, mesosonotum, second and third tergum, excluding blue apical margin of third tergum after pit row (Fig. 23 A). The green parts could be more golden to red when the specimen is alive. Overall, the colouration is similar to that of Chrysis lanceolata male, which is a species expected for Iran, considering its wide distribution. Female (Paratype). Body length 3.9 mm, anterior wing length 2.4 mm (Fig. 24 A). Head. Similar to male; differences in measures can be sexual dimorphism. Distance between anterior ocellus and upper margin of scapal basin 2.5 × MOD. OOL 1.6 × MOD; POL 2.5 × MOD; MS × 1.3 MOD; relative length of P: F 1: F 2: F 3 = 1.0: 1.3: 0.6: 0.6. Mesosoma. Similar to male. Medial pronotal furrow shallow and reaching half of pronotal length, in correspondence of posterior margin of golden area (Fig. 24 C); mesoscutellum with small punctures on antero-median triangular area; scutellar-metanotal suture deep, formed by large punctures; mesopleuron with episternal sulcus formed by small foveae. Metasoma. Metasoma with even, medium sized punctures, smaller than those on male metasoma, with narrow, polished interspaces (Fig. 24 D); apical margin of third tergum with weak median indentation (Fig. 24 E); black spots on second sternum subrectangular, as long as two-thirds of segment length, medially fused (Fig. 24 F). Coloration. Female has a basic colour pattern of Chrysis leachii female (Fig. 24 A) with two main deviations: scutellum with contrasting green median line (fully golden in C. leachii) and first metasomal tergum with anterior golden area interrupted medially by blue colour (Fig. 24 D) (continuous in C. leachii). Scapus and pedicel metallic green in both sexes, first flagellomere metallic green in male; other flagellomeres blackish. Vestiture. Both sexes with head and mesosoma dorsally with relatively long, dense greyish to whitish setae as long as 1 × MOD to 1.5 × MOD; legs with short (1 × MOD), erect, whitish setae; metasoma dorsally with short (1 × MOD) whitish setae, laterally erect, longer, as long as 1.5 × MOD.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

Chrysis dawahi Strumia (listed by Falahatpisheh et al., 2020 for Iran) was synonymised with C. mirifica Balthasar by Rosa et al. (2020 a). However, this action was unnecessary because in the original description of C. dawahi, the name and location of the collection housing the holotype were omitted, thereby not complying with Article 16.4.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 1999). Consequently, Chrysis dawahi is not correctly described and must be considered as unavailable and nomen nudum.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFB1CD06FF559B55FEB7E0E7.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The specimen examined is a male and its identification is doubtful. As recently shown by Rosa (2024), the fuscipennis group (ex angolensis group) includes several species whose distinction is based on the shape of the genital capsule, the transverse frontal carina, the body punctation and the shape of the lower mesopleuron. The Iranian specimen does not match the African specimen of C. callaina Gribodo, 1884 for the different shape of the head (Fig. 25 A), which is similar to C. fuscipennis, and the genital capsule (Fig. 25 E), which is more elongate with acute inner angles of gonocoxae. It does not match the Oriental C. erratica Abeille de Perrin & du Buysson, 1887 for the shape of the transverse frontal carina curved and the genital capsule elongate and it does not match C. fuscipennis s. str. for the dense, coarse punctures. The only possibility is that this is the unknown male of C. mossulensis, which is separated from the female by the downcurved frontal carina, and pointed teeth of the lower mesopleuron. More material of both sexes is needed for a correct identification and sex association.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFB1CD78FF559986FC63E7ED.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The coloration of the specimens collected in Hormozgan is remarkably different, being fully purplish (Figs 26, 27) similarly to Chrysis jousseaumei du Buysson, 1898 (Fig. 26 F), instead of green with blue bands, as in the type series. This unusual colour form was recently observed in specimens collected in India from Hyderabad (Rosa, 2023 b). Also in this case, the habitus and body colour are similar to Chrysis jousseaumei but the body sculpture and the saw-like lower mesopleuron (Fig. 26 E) are similar to C. musa and not to C. jousseaumei, which is characterised by a single, sharp tooth on mesopleuron (Fig. 26 F). More material is needed to confirm the identification of these Iranian and Indian specimens, which could belong to an undescribed species.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFCDCD7BFF559D90FE5DE386.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Chrysis peri sp. nov. belongs to the Chrysis succincta species-group. Main diagnostic characters are given by the combination of metasomal apical margin continuous, without teeth, undulations or incisions, and body colour greenish-red, red to rosy. This coloration can be found in other species distributed in the Middle East and Central Asia, such as Chrysis glasunovi Semenov-Tian-Shanskij, 1967 and C. mysta du Buysson, 1900, but they have metasomal apical margin with four teeth. Several other species in the Mediterranean, the Middle East and Central Asia have continuous and edentate apical margin; however, Chrysis peri sp. nov. can be separated from: Chrysis israelia Linsenmaier, 1959 by its colour pattern similar to that of the C. leachii group, with head and pronotum blue, the latter with golden anterior margin; C. aurimaculifrons Linsenmaier, 1968 by its colour pattern, with head, metanotum, apical margin of third tergum and propodeum blue to green and with flame red, contrasting brow; C. striatifacialis Linsenmaier, 1968 by head with scapal basin largely micropunctate at sides, and by its colour pattern; finally, C. schousboei Dahlbom, 1854, often cited for the Middle East yet to be confirmed, has completed dark blue head, propodeum, apical margin after pit row and body ventral, and can also be separated by apical margin medially slightly trisinuate, in particular with a weak median notch.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFCDCD7BFF559D90FE5DE386.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet peri (noun in apposition) is named after peris (peri singular), beautiful winged spirits originating in Iranian mythology. They became benevolent spirits under Islamic influence, in contrast to demons, such as jinn and divs. The world parī comes from the Middle Persian parīg, itself from Old Persian parikā. The word may stem from the same root as the Persian word par (wing). Peris can be found in Persian folklore and poetry, in romances and epics and with the spread of Islam through Persia, peri was integrated into Islamic folklore.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFC6CD72FFA49DF2FE58E39E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Chrysis simurgh sp. nov. belongs to the subsinuata species group for: habitus; the peculiar shape of its first metasomal tergum, with a pair of submedian humps at front of dorsal area; apical margin of third tergum medially sinuate and laterally with corners; elongate structure of third tergum, and subparallel malar spaces; elongate black spots on second sternum. In the Middle East and Central Asia there are three species with similar shape and colouration: C. echidna Semenov-Tian-Shanskij, 1967, C. hydra Semenov-Tian-Shanskij, 1967, and C. orienticola Linsenmaier, 1994. Compared to these species, Chrysis simurgh sp. nov. can be recognised by the combination of following characters: deep and coarse punctation, in particular on metasomal terga (Figs 31 E, 32 A); punctation on first and second tergum antero-dorsally with large punctures, up to 0.8 × MOD, decreasing in size towards apical margin (vs. even or small punctures in other species, Fig. 32 B – D); interspaces on first and second tergum antero-dorsally narrow, somewhere with contiguous punctures (vs. punctures separated by even interspaces or with aligned punctures in C. orienticola, Fig. 32 C); black spots on second sternum well visible, trapeziform larger apically than at base (Fig. 32 E) (vs. greenish to faint in C. hydra and C. orienticola (Figs 32 G, H), barely visible only under a certain light; or vaguely subrectangular in C. echidna, Fig. 32 F); vestiture elongate and greyish dorsally (vs. whitish and short). Other diagnostic characters to separate Chrysis simurgh sp. nov. from C. echidna are: shape of mesopleural sulci, distinctly larger, and shape of genal carina, with different angle; however, these characters are based on limited number of specimens and should be evaluated on a larger number of records. The first group of characters is anyway considered enough to separate simurgh sp. nov. from other species.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFC6CD72FFA49DF2FE58E39E.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet simurgh (noun in apposition) recalls the mythological bird Simurgh, equated with another mythological bird such as the phoenix. This mythological figure is found in all periods of Iranian art and the etymology probably derives from Middle Persian and originally means a raptor, like an eagle, a falcon, anyway a bird of prey. Another Asian cuckoo wasp was named after the phoenix by Semenov-Tian-Shanskij (1967): Spinolia phoenix.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFC5CD72FF54994FFDA0EE75.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species listed in Rosa et al. (2013) was actually Chrysis grohmanni bolivari (see above), whereas the real Chrysis singula was located among the unidentified material and its identification was possible only after examination and comparison with the syntypes deposited in the Radoszkowski collection in Krakow and in Berlin. The Iranian specimen shows anyway some minor differences, such as the extremely large, confluent and shallow punctures on mesonotum that may suggest that this specimen belongs to another undescribed species. However, we could not find any other relevant diagnostic characters to separate it from the typical form, and we prefer to examine further material before taking any other action.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFC1CD76FF559A90FA35EE58.taxon	discussion	Remarks. In Rosa et al. (2013) two similar species were listed: Chrysis graelsii (with Chrysis sybarita persis as one of its synonyms, following the interpretation of Kimsey & Bohart, 1991) and C. jaxartis (based on Linsenmaier’s identification of a specimen from Elburz found at the Luzern Museum). The type of Chrysis sybarita persis was examined later in St. Petersburg (Rosa et al., 2017 a) and is not conspecific with C. graelsii but is more closely related to the Central European and Western Asian Chrysis sybarita (revalidated by Wiesbauer et al., 2020) based, among the others, on the shape of the apical teeth. Linsenmaier didn’t know and never reported Chrysis sybarita persis in his publications, therefore the identification of the Iranian specimen in his collection needs to be newly evaluated. For the moment, we consider only Chrysis sybarita persis in Iran, pending a complete morphological and genetic study, and taking into consideration that more species of this group may be anyway present in the country.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFC0CD69FFA49B3BFD61E406.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Chrysis titanica sp. nov. belongs to the succincta species group and is related to another two species known for the Middle East, Chrysis coa Invrea, 1939, and Caucasus, Chrysis vinokurovi Rosa, 2017. The male can be immediately recognised by the unique shape of its genital capsule (Figs 16 C, 34 A), with inner margins on gonocoxae subparallel, fully covering the aedeagus, excluding its pointed apical part, and ending with a convex upper margin and short gonostylus (vs. inner margins oblique, leaving the aedeagus fully exposed and with elongate gonostylus in the other two species: C. coa (Figs 16 D), C. vinokurovi, see online images at Chrysis. net; it can be also separated by the shape of the black spots on second tergum, which are round and clearly separate medially (Fig. 34 H) (vs. rectangular and fully fused medially), whereas it can separated from Iranian males of C. coa by the trisinuate apical margin (Fig. 34 G) (vs. continuous in C. coa). The female can be separated from C. coa by bisinuate apical margin with median protrusion (Fig. 35 E) (vs. simple, continuous, arched) and from C. vinokurovi for the sparse and large punctures on the metasoma (vs. small and dense punctures) and the colour pattern typical of C. succincta, with green head and mesosoma, and red scutum, and metasoma (vs. dark blue to black on head and mesosoma, with golden anterior margin of pronotum; with a large, median black spot on first and second tergum basally, and apical margin after pit row blackish, contrasting with the red colour of third tergum). Finally, both male and female of C. titanica measure 11.0 mm, being the largest species in the succicnta group (vs. C. vinokurovi maximum length recorded = 10.0 mm and C. coa = 9.0 mm).	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFDCCD6BFFA49E91FD89E5F6.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Rosa et al. (2013) listed Chrysis ashabadensis for Iran as a member of the elegans group, following Linsenmaier (1959 a, 1968) interpretation. Examination of the type in Krakow (Rosa et al., 2015 d) revealed that the species actually belongs to the C. succincta species-group and that the species identified by Linsenmaier in the elegans group was undescribed. This taxon was later described as Chrysis villosa Rosa, 2022 [in Boustani & Rosa, 2022] based on a holotype from Türkiye deposited in the Linsenmaier collection in Luzern.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFDACD6EFFA49B02FC49E184.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Chrysura filidichroa sp. nov. belongs to the dichroa group for: typical habitus, male antennae gibbous ventrally, and shape of genital capsule. The only species similar to C. filidichroa sp. nov. is C. izadiae Strumia & Fallahzadeh, 2016, but the male of C. filidichroa can be easily separated by the unique shape of genital capsule (Figs 16 F, 16 G), with upper part of gonocoxa with straight transverse margin and wide apex; this shape of the the genital capsule separates C. filidichroa also from other species in the group (compare images of genital capsules in Arens, 2001 and Strumia et al., 2016 a); it is also separated from C. izadiae by the shape of propodeum with parallel sides (vs. concave laterally, with prominent humeral angles in C. izadiae); habitus narrow and elongate (vs. unmodified in C. izadiae); apical margin of third tergum continuous (vs. slightly concave). Comparison with the female of C. izadiae is not appropriate, because we consider the sex association proposed by Strumia et al. (2016 a) unreliable, being the female closely related to other species of the dichroa group with body colour altered post mortem; moreover, the unmodified pronotum and the general habitus do not fit the description of the holotype male. C. filidichroa sp. nov. male and female can be separated from all the other species species of the dichroa group by body green colour, replacing the typical red one in members of this group; slender habitus (Figs 36 A, 37 A), and elongate malar spaces (2 × MOD).	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

Clypeus punctate, with punctures similar to those on scapal basin medially. Distance between anterior ocellus and clypeus = 5.7 × MOD. OOL 1.6 × MOD; POL 1.7 × MOD; MS 2.0 × MOD; relative length of P: F 1: F 2: F 3 = 1.0: 2.0: 1.0: 0.9. Mesosoma. Medial pronotal furrow relatively wide and shallow (Fig. 36 C), reaching half pronotal length; pronotum with small to medium sized punctures (0.2 – 0.5 × MOD), irregularly shaped, contiguous and with dots in between; punctation on mesoscutum similar, without interspaces; on scutellum shallower, with some polished interspaces between punctures; notauli formed by relatively shallow, metallic, sub-rectangular foveae, narrow, as long as larger punctures on mesonotum, but as wide as the smallest; parapsidal signum deep and distinct; scutellar-metanotal suture formed by shallow, irregular punctures, with large, shallow median fovea; metanotum with deep and contiguous punctures; posterior propodeal projections slightly divergent and concave at sides; mesopleuron with episternal sulcus formed by relatively small, shallow, transversal foveae, larger than other punctures on segment (Fig. 36 D). Metasoma. First tergum with even, small sized punctures, equally spaced; smaller and denser dorsally, at sides of median line, which is formed by rows of small dots (Fig. 36 E); punctures laterally with larger interspaces; on second tergum with similar punctures, denser antero-dorsally, and becoming smaller and sparser towards apical margin; longitudinal median carina faint; third tergum with small, even punctures; pits of pit row small, shallow, black, only slightly larger than other punctures on tergum; apical margin continuous, bordered by a thin hyaline rim; black spots on second sternum relatively large, subrectangular, covering less half of sternum length, medially separated by 2 × MOD; spot margin straight (Fig. 36 F). Female (Paratype). Body length 6.5 – 6.8 mm, anterior wing length 3.6 mm (Fig. 37 A). Head. Colour pattern, vestiture and sculpture as in male, less punctate on scapal basin; structure as in male for clypeus, mandibles, malar space (2 × MOD), subantennal space, relative length of P: F 1: F 2: F 3 = 1.0: 2.0: 1.0: 0.8, and pilosity; however, female head is different for larger distance between anterior ocellus and clypeus (5.7 × MOD), OOL 1.7 × MOD, POL = 1.9 × MOD, and general aspect narrower and elongate (Fig. 37 A) with l / w = 0.85 vs. l / w = 0.77 in male. Mesosoma and metasoma Colour pattern, vestiture and sculpture as in male. Colouration. Male and female with body light green, green-blue to bluish on metanotum and metapostnotum; mandible basally, scape, pedicel, first and second flagellum metallic, the rest of flagellum blackish; tegulae green metallic; wings hyaline, with brown veins. Vestiture. Head and mesosoma dorsally with short (1.0 to 1.5 × MOD), whitish setae; on metasoma dorsally with shorter setae, laterally with longer (1.5 to 2.0 × MOD), erect and white setae; legs with short (1 × MOD), erect setae on outer side.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFDACD6EFFA49B02FC49E184.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet filidichroa derives from Latin filus (thread) and dichroa, the species-group to which the taxon belongs to. It is related to the slender habitus of this species, similar to the slender body of Chrysura filiformis (Mocsáry, 1889), which is a species distinctly smaller (4 – 5 mm), with the typical body colour pattern of C. dichroa.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFD0CD67FFA49CC8FAE3E378.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Linsenmaier (1959 a) correctly placed the inaequalis group in the subgenus Pentachrysis Lichtenstein. Kimsey & Bohart (1991) elevated Pentachrysis to genus rank but included the inaequalis group in the genus Chrysis Linnaeus, 1761. Molecular analyses (Pauli et al., 2019) proved that members of the inaequalis group are related to Pentachrysis, thus confirming Linsenmaier (1959 a) intuition.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

Nevertheless, after examination of more material, it resulted that Linsenmaier's (1959 a) identification of S. vagans is related to S. mocsaryi (or alexandrii du Buysson, replacement name). The occurrence of S. vagans is apparently restricted to Central Asia. The record from Kerman should be related to this S. mocsaryi as well since Iranmanesh et al. (2017) follow Linsenmaier's (1959 a) keys.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.

477C87DAFFEBCD5CFF559FABFB77E4EC.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The specimens recorded from Iran should be double-checked to be correctly identified. Recently Rosa et al. (2023 b) elevated Stilbum westermanni to species rank, based on molecular analyses. However, molecular data and specimens for comparison were available from Europe, Russia and Central Asia, but not from Iran and the Middle East. For the moment, we still consider S. calens as the species distributed in Iran, but they both could be theoretically present in the country.	en	Rosa, Paolo, Farhad, Afrouz, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Ameri, Ali, Baiocchi, Daniele, Halada, Marek, Rakhshani, Ehsan (2024): The Iranian Chrysididae (Hymenoptera), the current state of the art, with an updated checklist and description of eleven new species.
