Abstract
During the years 2014 and 2015 a taxonomic work was carried out on reduviids collected from 25 provinces in a period of 60 years, deposited in the Hayk Mirzayans Insects Museum, Insect Taxonomy Research Department (ITRD) of the Iranian Research Institute of Plant Protection (IRIPP), besides the samples collected from areas with no previous records. Totally, 21 species belonging to 11 genera of four subfamilies Stenopodainae, Reduviinae, Harpactorinae and Peiratinae were identified. In this research the reduviin species, Holotrichius rotundatus and the two species Oncocephalus trichocnemis Horváth and O. siranusMiller of Stenopodinae are recorded for the first time from Iran. Eighteen more species are also newly recorded from Iranian provinces. All distribution data besides their most important morphological characteristics are presented. Identifications were confirmed by Professor Moullet from the Museum of Requien in France.
