Aphid parasitoids (Braconidae: Aphidiinae) in several localities of Kerman province, Southeastern Iran were studied between 2007 and 2008 and 20 species belonging to eight genera were identified. Parasitoids were reared from 25 field-collected aphid species occurring on 31 host plant species. In the present study, 83 parasitoid-aphid-plant associations, their aphid hosts, and the respective host plants were determined. Nineteen species (except Lysiphlebus fabarum (Marshall, 1896)) were new records for Kerman province and two species (Praon flavinode (Haliday, 1833) and Praon unitum Mescheloff and Rosen, 1988) were new records for Iran. An illustrated identification key to species is presented.

Mahi sefid (Cyprinidae) is an economically important fish in the south Caspian Sea. Specimens was collected from the Lamir River, Sefid Rud, Shir Rud and Tajan Rivers and analyzed at 38 microsatellite DNA loci. Eight primers out of the thirty analyzed loci were polymorphic in all sampling regions. The highest observed heterozygosity (1) was in locus<br />Ca1 in Sefid Rud and lowest was 0.07 in locus SYP5 in Lamir River. The highest expected heterozygosity was 0.92 in locus SYP4 in Shir Rud and lowest was 0.24 in locus SYP6 in Tajan River. The average allele per locus was 7.22, maximum allele per locus was 15 and minimum allele per locus was two. The highest genetic distance was between Shir Rud and Tajan River (0.07) and lowest genetic distance was between Sefid Rud and Tajan River (0.05). All loci and all rivers deviated from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium expectations (P<0.01) except at the SPY6 locus. Populations clustered in three groups corresponding to Shir Rud, Lamir Rivers and Tajan-Sefid Rud.

Kurdistan Province in the western Iran possesses varied climatic and geographical conditions that led to rich biodiversity. An investigation on the status of lizards in this Province was carried out from June 2010 to September 2011. A total of 73 specimens were collected and identified. The collected specimens represented four families, 10 genera, and 14 species and subspecies, including Agamidae: Laudakia nupta nupta, Laudakia caucasia and Trapelus lessonae, Gekkonidae: Cyrtopodion scabrum, Asaccus kurdistanensis, Lacertidae: Eremias montanus, Eremias sp. (1) and Eremias sp. (2) (unknown taxa which may be related to E. persica complex), Apathya cappadocica urmiana, A. c. muhtari, Lacerta media media and Ophisops elegans, Scinicidae: Eumeces schneideri princeps and Trachylepis aurata transcaucasica. With respect to the data which was reported by Rastegar-Pouyani et al. (2008) and Anderson (1999) Eremias sp. (1) and Eremias sp. (2) may belong to two new taxa, Apathya cappadocica muhtari is a new record from Iran, and also Eremias montanus is a new record from Kurdistan Province. The Lacertidae with six species, showed the highest diversity among the families represented here.

The coastal areas of the Caspian Sea are geographically unique and provide habitats for different flora and fauna. One of the remarkable inhabitants of this area is the European pond turtle, Emys orbicularis (Linnaeus, 1758), about which very little is known. In our study thirty seven (37) adult males of E. orbicularis have been identified in the Golestan, Mazandaran, Ardebil, and East Azerbaijan Provinces of Iran and it appears they are morphologically similar and belong to the same group. However, the turtles of Golestan Province have the smallest size shell of the studied groups. This variation, compared to other studied populations, may be explained by the differences in habitat and geographical location.

The Barn Owl, Tyto alba (Scopoli, 1769), occurs worldwide and shows a considerable
amount of morphological and geographical variation, leading to the recognition of many
subspecies around the world. Yet comprehensive study on this species needs to be done.
Data from mitochondrial gene (CYTB) with 620bp length is analyzed for 30 individuals
around the world. Maximum likelihood (ML), maximum parsimony (MP) and bayesian
analysis showed considerable genetic variation between alba clade (Old World) and furcata
clade (New World). The amounts of genetic variation within each of these clades are in
ranges from 0.4%-1.6% but variation between clades is 7.21%. This data may suggest that
Barn Owls of the Old World were a separate species from those of the New World. We
found high amount of genetic variation between T. a. stertens from Indonesia and alba
clade and we didn’t find any support for recognition of T. bargei as a separate species.

Twenty species and nine genera belonging to the family Pteromalidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) were collected in the present study in different locations of Khorasan Razavi Province, Northeastern Iran between 2009 and 2010. The identified species belong to three subfamilies: Miscogasterinae (1 species), Ormocerinae (2 species) and Pteromalinae (17 species). Systasis parvula Thomson, 1876 and Mesopolobus sericeus (Förster, 1770) are reported for the first time from Iran. Short taxonomic comments, available biological data as well as geographical distribution for each species are briefly mentioned.
