Abstract :
The specimens were collected from northern Iran using the sweeping
net and Malaise traps during 2010-2019. A total of 25 species were identified, of
which four species are recorded for the first time from Iran: Choerades femorata
(Meigen, 1804), Dysmachus dentiger Richter, 1962, Heteropogon ornatipes
Loew, 1851, and Neomochtherus schineri (Egger, 1855). Also, some species are
new provincial records for the northern provinces of Iran. Local and global
geographical distributions of all 25 species, diagnostic characters of the newly
recorded species, and their photos are provided.
