Abstract
In this research, the faun of class Collembola was investigated in different regions of Kerman city and its suburbs during 2016‒2017. Several samples from soil and leaf litter were collected and extracted by Berlese funnels from these regions and Collembolan specimens were collected and separated. 22 species belonging to 18 genera, six families and three orders were identified. One genus Acheroxenylla Ellis, 1976and two species Entomobrya indica (Baijal, 1955)and Drepanura kirgisica Martynova, 1971are reported for the first time from Iran. Most species are new for Kerman fauna. The checklist of species with material examined and description of new record genus and species with illustrations were represented.
