Charipinae material collected from various localities in Iran was studied. A total of 712 specimens have been determined in 8 species: Alloxysta arcuata (Kieffer, 1902), A. brevis (Thomson, 1862), A. circumscripta (Hartig, 1841), A. citripes (Thomson, 1862), A. darci (Girault, 1933), A. mullensis (Cameron, 1883), A. pusilla (Kieffer, 1902), and Phaenoglyphis villosa (Hartig, 1841). Alloxysta circumscripta and A. darci are cited for the first time from Iran. In total, 91 host associations (Charipinae-Aphidiinae-Aphid-host plant) are recorded, of which 23 are new to science. New trophic relationships are also recorded for Iran for A. brevis, A. mullensis, and P. villosa. Diagnoses, short descriptions, and figures are included for the newly recorded species.
