Fifteen species belonging to ten genera of the encyrtid wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Encyrtidae) were collected in southern Iran and are presented here with the host records. Four species are newly recorded for the Iranian fauna: Blastothrix aprica Sugonjaev, ۱۹۶۴; Psyllaephagus belanensis (Hoffer, ۱۹۶۳); Psyllaephagus pulchellus (Mercet, ۱۹۲۱) and Anagyrus archangelskayae Trjapitzin, ۱۹۷۲. Some new host associations were found for ۱۰ encyrtid species. Two misidentifications were corrected. Available biological data as well as geographical distribution for each species are also included.
