The family Chalcididae is considered as an important group in biological control of pests. Sampling was carried out in 2011-2012 using net and Malaise trap due to study of the family fauna in some part of East-Azarbaijan province. A total of 11 species belonging to 7 genera in the subfamily Haltichellinae were collected and identified. Of which, three species have not been recorded from Iran (**) and five species are new for fauna of East-Azarbaijan province (*). An identification key was provided for identified genera. List of identified species are as follow: Antrocephalushypsopygiae Masi*, Hockeria magna Bouček**, H. singularis Bouček**, H. susterai Bouček*, H. unicolor Walker*, Kriechbaumerella gracilis (Nikol'skaya), Lasiochalcidia cincticornis (Walker)*, Neochalcis fertoni(Kieffer), Neohybothorax hetera (Walker), Proconura brbara (Masi)** and P.nigripes (Fonscolombe)*.
