Abstract
Information on hyperparasitoid wasps of Figitidae family in Iran, in comparison to the numerous studies carried out in North America and Europe is very rare. So we have studied to determine the diversity of parasitoid wasps of aphids on stone fruit trees during 2009-2010 in Khorasan Razavi province-Iran. Several species of hyperparasitoid wasps were collected which among them, Alloxysta castanea (Hartig, 1841) is recorded for the first time from Iran.
