AbstractA new trichodorid species, Trichodorus gilanensis n. sp. is described from a forest park in northern Iran. The new species is characterised in the male by three ventromedian cervical papillae with the anterior two at the level of the onchiostyle region, the posterior-most ventromedian procloacal supplement (SP1) at the level of the retracted spicule head, spicules smooth and manubrium continuous with shaft, and in the female by large triangular vaginal sclerotised pieces close to one another in lateral view, a barrel-shaped vagina, a transverse slit-like vulva in ventral view and a slightly swollen tail region. Three other trichodorid species found, T. primitivus, Paratrichodorus porosus and P.tunisiensis represent new records for Iran.

Bark and ambrosia beetles from the subfamily Scolytinae are among the most important pests in forests of Northern Iran. During investigations conducted in 2013–2016 in different parts of northern forests, the species Crypturgus cribrellus Reitter, Liparthrum bartschti Mühl, Scolytus varshalovitchi Michalski, Scolytus sulcifrons Rey, Scolytus triarmatus (Eggers) and Trypophloeus granulatus (Ratzeburg) were recorded for the first time in Iran; Trypophloeus and Liparthrum were new genera for Iran. As new host plants we found Zelkova sp. for Scolytus varshalovitchi, Michalski, Populus sp. for Liparthrum bartschti, Mühl, Alnus sp. and Pterocarya fraxinifolia for Taphrorychus lenkoranus Reitter, Pterocarya fraxinifolia for Ernoporicus caucasicus (Lindemann), Carpinus sp. for Pteleobius vittatus (Fabricius), Parrotia persica for Scolytus intricatus (Ratzeburg), Alnus sp. and Pterocarya fraxinifolia for Hypothenemus eruditus (Westwood).

Four new Scythrididae species are described fromthe Eastern Palaearctic region. Scythris pamirica sp.n., S. balkhi sp.n., and S. brandti sp.n. were collected in North-Eastern Afghanistan, while S. elburzi sp.n.was collected in Northern Iran. The lectotype of S. paelopyga (Staudinger, 1880) is established here, and the male genitalia are described. Morphological affinities and differences of the new species are reported, and related to the scythridid taxa that are closer to them. New records of little known species from the Irano-turanian region are listed.

Specimens of the Opiinae subfamily (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) were collected using Malaise traps during 2010–2011 in Northern Iran (Alborz, Guilan, Mazandaran, Qazvin and Tehran provinces). A total of 32 species belonging to 12 genera were identified, of which 11 species are new records for the fauna of Iran: Apodesmia posticatae (Fischer, 1957), Apodesmia striatula (Fischer, 1957), Biosteres (Chilotrichia) advectus Papp, 1979, Bitomus (Bitomus) multipilis Fischer, 1990, Desmiostoma parvulum (Wesmael, 1835), Opius (Misophthora) rufimixtus Fischer, 1958, Opius (Opiothorax) phytobiae Fischer, 1959, Opius (Misophthora) mischa Fischer, 1968, Opius (Opiothorax) attributus Fischer, 1962, Phaedrotoma pseudonitida (Fahringer, 1943) and Utetes curtipectus (Fischer, 1958). In addition, 21 species are new provincial records. Local and global distributions of all 32 species as well as diagnostic characters of each of the newly recorded species are provided.

During a nematological survey of the family Tripylidae, two new and two known species of the genusTripyla, namelyT. paraffinissp. n.,T. parafilicaudatasp. n.,T. glomeransandT. setifera, were identified and described from soil samples collected from the rhizosphere of forest trees in northern Iran. Three populations ofT. paraffinissp. n., found in different locations, are described and morphometric data of the type and other populations provided.Tripyla paraffinissp. n. is characterised by its body length of 1.21-1.89 mm, dorsal tooth wedge-shaped and triangular, short outer labial and cephalic sensilla, tail bent ventrad and gradually tapering to the end, horn-shaped spicules bearing a distinct constriction in the middle, and presence of 16-20 ventromedian supplementary papillae.Tripyla parafilicaudatasp. n. is described and illustrated from four different locations. It is characterised by females with a body length of 1.48-1.95 mm, dorsal tooth hook-shaped, vaginal wall with a downward pointing tooth-like projection in the middle, long outer labial and setiform cephalic sensilla, long tail, sausage-shaped spermatozoa, males with horn-shaped spicules and 11-17 ventromedian supplementary papillae.Tripyla glomeransandT. setiferaare new records for the Iranian nematofauna. The results of phylogenetic analyses based on sequences of the partial 18S and D2-D3 expansion segments of 28S rRNA fromT. paraffinissp. n. andT. parafilicaudatasp. n. and other species in the genus clearly support the proposal ofT. paraffinissp. n. andT. parafilicaudatasp. n. as new species, as well as indicating thatTripylashares a more recent common ancestor withTobrilus,Tripylella,Prismatolaimus,Diphtherophoraand two trichodorids,TrichodorusandParatrichodorus. The Tripylidae is placed in a main clade within the Triplonchida.

AbstractThe lichen Pyrenula minutissima is described as new to science from the Hyrcanian forests in northern Iran. In addition, three further, essentially tropical, Pyrenula species are reported for the first time from Iran. An identification key is provided for all eight Pyrenula species now known from Iran.
