Diagnosis . Body predominantly brown to dark brown, with three basal antennomeres, propodeum, petiole, legs yellowish; metasoma yellowish brown; antenna with 11 antennomeres; vein 1 RS of fore wing short, never reaching wing apex, veins RS +M and M+m-cu absent; pterostigma 2.3× as long as wide, distinctly longer than vein R, 1.35× as long as vein R1; petiole with distinctly separated primary and secondary tubercles, distance between them longer than distance between spiracles; hypopygium with two almost straight prongs that are slightly curved at apex; ovipositor sheath downcurved. Distribution in the MENA: Algeria , Egypt , Iran , Iraq , Israel , Lebanon , Morocco , Tunisia , Turkey , United Arab Emirates . Comments: Binodoxys angelicae is distributed in the Palaearctic and Oriental regions ( Yu et al. 2016 ; Rakhshani et al. 2019 ), occurs in almost all the North African and Middle Eastern countries. It has been recorded in association with V. faba in the following countries: in Iran recorded as a primary parasitoid of Aphis craccivora ( Rakhshani et al. 2005 ; Mossadegh et al. 2011 ; Nazari et al. 2012 ; Barahoei et al. 2013 ), as well as Turkey ( Aşlan et al. 2004 ); and of Aphis fabae in Algeria (Starý et al. 1971), Iran ( Talebi et al. 2009 ; Mossadegh et al. 2011 ; Barahoei et al. 2012 ; Modarres Awal 2012; Nazari et al. 2012 ; Taheri & Rakhshani 2013 ), Iraq ( Al-Azawi 1970 ), as well as Lebanon ( Tremblay et al. 1985 ). On the other hand, it was recorded as being a parasitoid of A. fabae in Iraq , Lebanon and Turkey by Starý (1976) without host plant data. In Egypt , it has been recorded as a parasitoid of A. craccivora attacking faba beans in Mansoura Governorate ( Ragab 1996 , as Trioxys angelicae ). It was also recorded parasitizing the grain aphid ( Sitobium avenae (F.)) attacking wheat, Triticum aestivum Linnaeus ( Gadallah et al. 2017 ) .
