The ber fruit fly (BFF), Costa, 1854 (Diptera: Tephritidae), is an important key pest of the jujube, Miller. The main control measures against this pest are to use chemical control, but the first survey for its natural enemies was performed in Iran. Here, we report eight species of parasitic wasps of the BFF from five different families. The family Eurytomidae with three species, the families Pteromalidae and Mutillidae with two species each, and the families Braconidae and Diapriidae with one species each are associated with different immature stages of the BFF, of which Zerova (Eurytomidae) and (Masi) (Pteromalidae) were the most abundant parasitoid species. (Silvestri,) was not reared on BFF on the jujube during this survey, but it was reported on (L.) with a high parasitism rate. Therefore, it seems to be the most important parasitoid of BFF in Iran. The parasitoid community of BFF in Khorasan, Eastern Iran, is reviewed, and an identification key to these species is proposed.
枣实蝇（Costa，1854年）（双翅目：实蝇科）是枣（Miller）的一种重要关键害虫。针对这种害虫的主要防治措施是使用化学防治，但对其天敌的首次调查是在伊朗进行的。在此，我们报告了来自五个不同科的八种枣实蝇寄生蜂。广肩小蜂科有三种，金小蜂科和蚁蜂科各有两种，茧蜂科和姬小蜂科各有一种，它们与枣实蝇的不同未成熟阶段相关联，其中泽罗娃广肩小蜂（广肩小蜂科）和马西金小蜂（金小蜂科）是最丰富的寄生蜂种类。本次调查期间，西尔维斯特里姬小蜂未在枣树上的枣实蝇中饲养出来，但据报道它在酸浆属植物上寄生率很高。因此，它似乎是伊朗枣实蝇最重要的寄生蜂。对伊朗东部霍拉桑省枣实蝇的寄生蜂群落进行了综述，并提出了这些种类的鉴定检索表。
