ABSTRACT. An updated list of the sawflies (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) from Iran is provided. The list inculdes 178 species of sawflies belonging to 60 genera and 9 families. Family Tenthredinidae is the most species-rich group Received: (131 species) followed by Argidae (18 species), Cephidae (9 species), 03 April, 2017 Megalodontesidae (7 species), Cimbicidae (4 species), Pamphiliidae (3 species), Orussidae, Siricidae and Xiphydriidae (each with 2 species). Also genus Accepted: 18 June, 2017 Tenthredo is the most species-rich genus with 23 species followed by Macrophya (Tenthredinidae) with 17 species and Arge (Argidae) with 12 species. General Published: distribution, synonyms and hosts associated with larvae for all recorded 21 August, 2017 species are provided.

In fact sawflies are a Sawfly is the common name for insects large group of herbivorous insects except belong to “Symphyta” (Insecta: Orussidae.
