Ormyrus pomaceus has been previously reported from Iran (OILB 1971; Azizkhani et al. 2005) and is present in northwest to western Provinces (Table 1). It is widely distributed from Japan to Europe as a parasitoid of Cynipidae on Castanea and Quercus (Noyes 2011) . In Iran it is found in the parasitoid community in galls of several species of Cynipidae (listed above) and has been reared from galls of unnamed species of Dryocosmus Giraud on two species of oak, Q. brantii and Q. infectoria .

As for O. nitidulus, it displays morphological variation and molecular clades, and further study might show that O. pomaceus is an aggregate of cryptic species.
