DNA barcode The DNA barcode sequences of Microplitis alborziensis sp. nov. specimen is available at the NCBI database (National Center for Biotechnology Information: https: // www. ncbi. nlm. nih. gov /; accession number: MN 820452.1). The available data in NCBI shows that two specimens, Microplitis jft 111 (European, Sweden, with accession numbers of NCBI: HM 396982.1) and Microplitis jft 112 (North American, Alaska, with accession numbers of NCBI: HM 397413.1), for which there are DNA barcodes available (all based from specimens in the CNC) differ by 1.7 % base pairs (11 base pairs of difference) and 1.6 % base pairs (10 base pairs of difference), respectively, suggesting that they are different species (see Smith et al. 2013 for further details).	en	Abdoli, Parisa, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Fernandez-Triana, Jose, Farahani, Samira (2021): Taxonomic study of the genus Microplitis Förster, 1862 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Microgastrinae) from Iran.

03950265A643221739AE396B097A296A.taxon	discussion	Remarks Microplitis alborziensis sp. nov. runs to M. tuberculifer (Wesmael, 1937) in the key provided by Telenga (1955) and runs to M. trochanterata (Thomson, 1895) in the key of Tobias (1986) (Tobias’ species was later synonymized with M. tuberculifer (Broad et al. 2016 )). It can, however, be separated from M. tuberculifer by the following characters: (1) T 1 length / width ratio is 2.0 vs 2.5 – 3.0 in M. tuberculifer, (2) antenna shorter than body vs slightly longer than body in M. tuberculifer, (3) tegula black vs reddish yellow to brown in M. tuberculifer. The new species runs to M. mediator (Haliday, 1834) in the key of Kotenko (2007) from which it can be separated by: (1) head in dorsal view more transverse (i. e., its width / length ratio 1.90) vs head in dorsal view less transverse (i. e., its width / length ratio 1.60 – 1.70) in M. mediator, (2) hind legs yellow, metasomal tergites and scape black vs hind legs dark brown, metasomal tergites and scape reddish yellow to red in M. mediator. This species runs to M. aduncus (Ruthe, 1860) in Papp (1984), however, M. aduncus differs from M. alborziensis sp. nov. as follows: in M. alborziensis sp. nov. meso- and metafemora are yellow, vein cu-a in hind wing is slightly curved, and T 1 is rugose to rugulose, whereas in M. aduncus meso- and metafemora are dark brown to black, vein cu-a in hind wing is distinctly curved, and T 1 is smooth.	en	Abdoli, Parisa, Talebi, Ali Asghar, Fernandez-Triana, Jose, Farahani, Samira (2021): Taxonomic study of the genus Microplitis Förster, 1862 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Microgastrinae) from Iran.
