In this study, two reared chalcid wasps are newly recorded from Fars province, Iran, as the natural enemies of fig soft scale, Eulecanium sp. (Hemiptera: Coccidae): (1) Scutellista caerulea (Fonscolombe) (Pteromalidae: Eunotinae) and (2) Blastothrix hungarica Erdös (Encyrtidae: Encyrtinae). Both species were collected from Estahaban (May 2005) and Darab (September 2005; June 2006).
