Dicyrtomellus dubitabilis (SAUNDERS, 1901), Episyron albonotatum (VANDER LINDEN,
1827), Evagetes trispinosus (KOHL, 1886), Paracyphononyx ruficrus (KLUG, 1834) and
Taeniagenia HAUPT, 1959 from different regions of Iran.
EBRAHIMI et al. (2008) also have reported 43 species of Pompilidae from various parts of
Iran that four species as Agenioideus excisus (MORAWITZ, 1890); Anoplius samariensis
(PALLAS, 1771); Cryptocheilus octomaculatus (ROSSIUS, 1790) and Episyron rufipes
(LINNAEUS, 1758) were belonging to Mazandaran fauna.
In conclusion, 49 pompilid species had previously been reported from Iran. Adding the
eight new species reported in our present paper to those, so far, 57 pompilid species and
22 genus has been reported from Iran (ESMAILI & RASTEGAR 1974, WOLF 2003,
EBRAHIMI et al. 2008).
