Abstract

During conduction a survey of collection and identification of weevils, in the years 1993-2013, totally 32 species belonging to 22 genera were identified. Among them, five species including Dorytomus ictor (Herbst, 1795), D. melanophthalmus (Paykull, 1792), Mogulones mendax (Schultze, 1898), Paramecops sinaitus (Pic, 1930) and Polydrusus mollis (Stroem, 1768) are new records for Iran. The specimens were deposited in the insect collection of Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands, Tehran, Iran.
