Abstract

In this paper, three new species of the genus Picrostigeus Förster, 1869 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae, Orthocentrinae) are described from central north of Iran, collected by Malaise traps during 2010 and 2011: Picrostigeus furcatus Mohammadi-Khoramabadi & Talebi, sp. nov., P. guilanensis Mohammadi-Khoramabadi & Talebi, sp. nov., and P. ventrodentatus Mohammadi-Khoramabadi & Talebi, sp. nov. Their diagnostic morphological characters are provided.
