Miltogramminae are common dwellers of arid regions of northern hemisphere including Iran whose estimated fauna is thought to significantly exceed its existing 39 members and virtually reach about 100 species (Szpila, pers. comm.). The world catalogue of Sarcophagidae has included 33 species of Iranian Miltogramminae (Pape, 1996) and the recent molecular reconstruction of phylogeny of the subfamily added further four species to its Iranian fauna (Piwczyński et al., 2017: Supplementary Table A.1). Szpila et al. (2017) described the larvae of two unidentified miltogrammine species within the genera Sphecapatodes Villeneuve and Sphecapatoclea Villeneuve, based on the specimens from the North Khorasan province of Iran.
