Two species of Tachinidae, Masicera sphingivora (Robineau & Desvoidy) and Bithia glirina (Rondani), were collected from pupae and larvae of Hyles euphorbiae (L.) (Lep.: Sphingidae) and Chamaesphecia schizoceriformis Kolenati (Lep.: Sesiidae) respectively. Masicera sphingivora belongs to the subfamily Exoristinae and has mostly been reared from the larvae of Sphingidae, especially the genus Hyles Hübner, as well as different species of Noctuidae, Lymantriidae, Lasiocampidae and Nymphalidae. Bithia glirina is a very rare species belonging to the subfamily Tachininae and has been reported as a parasitoid of species of Chamaesphecia Spuler. These tachinid species are newly recorded from Iran.
