Brown-tail moth (Euproctis chrysorhoea) is among the major pest in oak forest in Arasbaran (East Azarbaijan), Hatam-beig (Meshgin-shar), and Taroum Sofla (Qazvin). So far, a number of egg, larva and pupa parasitoid wasps have bean collected in Arasbaran, but there has not been any effort to study parasitoid fauna of the pest in oak forests of Taroum-sofla. In the course of biological study of the pest in 2004, an egg parasitoid was isolated in Ferdows forests. This forest is located in North West of Ghazvin with 2100-2400m elevation. The parasitoid parasitized over 60 percent of the host egg and could be found on egg clusters of brown-tail moth in August. Parasitoid specimens were sent to Systematic Parasitoid Laboratory of Hungary and identified as Telenomus dalmani species-group by Dr. George Melika.
