Discussion
This study was the only detailed work on the spider wasp fauna of Iran, which improved
our knowledge about occurrence of Pompilidae in Mazandaran province. At the present
study 16 species were reported, from which 8 and 14 species are new for Iran and
Mazandaran, respectively. The 8 new species for Iranian fauna are Anoplius nigerrimus
(SCOPOLI, 1763), Aporus bicolor SPINOLA, 1808, Auplopus rectus (HAUPT, 1927),
Episyron arrogans (SMITH, 1873), Pamirospila magiana ZONSTEIN, 2000, Priocnemis
fahringeri WOLF, 1963, Priocnemis melanosoma KOHL, 1880 and Priocnemis sulci
BALTHASAR, 1943, also one genus namely Aporus SPINOLA, 1808 is new for Iran.
Some works on the Iranian pompilids have previously been done. In 1974, ESMAILI &
RASTEGAR reported four species namely Cryptochilus rubellus (EVERSMANN, 1846),
Batozonellus lacerticida (PALLAS, 1771), Anoplius DUFOUR, 1834 and Ceropales
LATREILLE, 1796 from Damavand (in vicinity of Tehran). WOLF (2003) reported nine
species namely Agenioideus dichrous (BRULLÉ, 1840), A. excisus (MORAWITZ, 1890),
Anoplius pseudinfuscatus WOLF, 1998, A. schlettereri (RADOSZKOWSKI, 1888),
