Thirteen species in 8 genera of the subfamily Doryctinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)\ were collected in the north of Iran during 2010 and 2011. Of these, ten species are\ recorded for the first time for the Iranian fauna: Dendrosoter protuberans (Nees,\ 1834), Hecabolus sulcatus Curtis, 1834, Heterospilus tauricus Telenga, 1941, Leluthia\ asiatica (Tobias, 1980), Ontsira longicaudis (Giraud, 1857), Rhaconotus aciculatus\ Ruthe, 1857, R. scaber Kokujev, 1900, Spathius brevicaudis (Ratzeburg, 1844),\ S. curvicaudis Ratzeburg, 1844, and S. exarator (Linnaeus, 1758). A key to the genera\ and species and an updated checklist of Iranian Doryctinae are provided.

The Palaearctic species of the S. exarator species group of the genus Spathius Nees with entirely sculptured mesopleuron\ are discussed. Four new species, Spathius austriacus sp. nov., S. intercontinentalis sp. nov., S. pseudodentatus sp. nov.,\ and S. sculptipleurum sp. nov., are described and illustrated. Spathius curvicaudis Ratzeburg, 1944 treated here as junior\ synonym of S. erythrocephalus Wesmael, 1838 (syn. nov.) The key for determination of the Palaearctic species of this\ group with constantly or temporary sculptured mesopleuron is provided.

Two new species of the parasitoid wasp genus Spathius Nees (Braconidae: Doryctinae) from Mexico,\ S. mexicanus sp. n. and S. chamelae sp. n., are described and illustrated. These represent the second and\ third described species of this highly diverse Old World genus in the Neotropics, and the first described\ species recorded for the Mexican territory.
