Abstract

Sawflies of the Insect collection of conservation and protection of forest and rangeland research group, Iranian Research Institute of Forest and Rangeland that were collected from Azarbaijan-Sharghi, Ardabil, Gilan, Mazandaran and Tehran provinces have been studied and in total 22 species identified, of which the species Allantus truncatus (Klug, 1818) and Pristiphora subbifida (Thomson, 1871) are newly recorded from Iran. Distribution data and host plant of two new records of sawfly species and also number of families, genera and species of sawflies recorded from different provinces are presented.
