Three Chalcididae, namely Brachymeria ceratoniae Delvare sp. nov., Proconura persica sp. nov. and Psilochalcis ceratoniae Delvare sp. nov., are described from Iran. They were all reared from the carob moth Apomyelois ceratoniae (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), the main pest of Ceratonia siliqua. Invreia subita Nikol'skaya, 1960 is formally transferred to the genus Psilochalcis. A lectotype is designated for Brachymeria confalonierii Masi, 1929.
