03CADC2BFFCBFFB77A1DFBD6FE2AF7B7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Female. Head and mesosoma blackish green with metallic luster (Figs. 2 A, 3 A – D, F); antenna bronzy (Fig. 2); legs bronzy to amber; basal parts of coxae concolourous with mesosoma (Fig. 2 A, 3 A); metasoma fuscous to bronzy (Fig. 2 A, 3 G). Antenna of the female with a lower placoid sensillae than that of Hyssopus nigritulus (Zetterstedt, 1838) (Fig. 2 A, 2 B). Thorax flat dorsally (Fig. 2 A, 3 A); mesoscutum with fine reticulation (Fig. 3 C); mesoscutellum smooth and shiny, sometimes alutaceous anteriorly (Figs 3 C, 3 F). Fore wing with marginal vein 3 × as long as stigmal vein; submarginal vein with 7 setae dorsally; speculum small (Fig. 2 A, 3 E). Gaster oval and longer than the length of the thorax and propodeum together (Fig. 2 A, 3 G). Male. Similar to female except enlarged and more globular head; antennal scape inflated with fewer placoid sensillae; gaster squatter than that of female (Figs 2 C, 2 D). Primary hosts. Based on our findings, H. geniculatus is a primary ectoparasitoid of A. eleagnella larvae. Generally, H. geniculatus is an ectoparasitoid of lepidopterous larvae (Bouček & Askew, 1968; Trjapitzin, 1978; Ermolaev et al., 2019), and additionally, two coleopterous species from Scolytidae and one dipterous species from Cecidomyiidae have been reported as its primary hosts (Bouček & Askew, 1968). Its lepidopterous hosts are Gelechiidae, Gracillariidae, Pyralidae, and Tortricidae (Bouček & Askew, 1968; Bouček, 1977; Trjapitzin, 1978; Yefremova et al., 2007).	en	Jafarlu, Majid, Hassan-Pashai-Mehr, Maliheh, Lotfalizadeh, Hossein, Asghari-Tazehkand, Susan, Karimpour, Younes (2024): Hyssopus geniculatus (Hartig) (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) a parasitoid of Anarsia eleagnella Kuznetsov (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in Iran.

Notauli complete; mesoscutum hemispherical with two pairs of setae on the mid lobe (Fig. 3 C); mesosoma dorsally with fine reticulation on its entire surface (Figs 3 C, 3 F); mesoscutellum with distinct and complete submedian grooves that bend inward in the posterior part and nearly meeting each other. Propodeum with a simple median carina and without plicae or costula (Figs 3 C, 3 F). Antenna with four funiculars in both male and female (Fig. 2); anterior margin of clypeus not produced and only slightly rounded (Fig 3 B); pronotum long and semi-globose with rounded front part (Figs 3 A, 3 C, 3 D).	en	Jafarlu, Majid, Hassan-Pashai-Mehr, Maliheh, Lotfalizadeh, Hossein, Asghari-Tazehkand, Susan, Karimpour, Younes (2024): Hyssopus geniculatus (Hartig) (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) a parasitoid of Anarsia eleagnella Kuznetsov (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in Iran.

03CADC2BFFCBFFB77A1DFE06FE04FC45.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The genus Hyssopus has 23 species worldwide, 12 of which are distributed in the Palaearctic region (Noyes, 2019), and two in Iran (Hesami et al., 2018). Species of this genus are primary ectoparasitoids of microlepidopterans larvae such as Coleophoridae, Gelechiidae, Pyralidae, and Tortricidae (Bouček, 1988), and in general, its primary hosts are lepidopterous larvae in concealed situations (Burks, 2003).	en	Jafarlu, Majid, Hassan-Pashai-Mehr, Maliheh, Lotfalizadeh, Hossein, Asghari-Tazehkand, Susan, Karimpour, Younes (2024): Hyssopus geniculatus (Hartig) (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) a parasitoid of Anarsia eleagnella Kuznetsov (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in Iran.
