Introduction Sawflies are of the suborder species have been reported) (Modares Symphyta within the order Hymenoptera. Awal, 1997; Taeger & Blank, 2011), Their larval stages feed on plants, mostly sampling was carried out by sweep net to externally, but some species induce galls or find out more information about Symphyta. live inside fruits, or live in tunnels in wood or shoots. The larvae of Orussidae are Material and methods exceptional: they are parasitoids of wood- The study was conducted in Anguran boring insects (Smith, 1988; Viitasaari, 2002). protected area (Fig. 1), which is an area of According to previous studies, sawflies 125,000 Ha, located north-west of Zanjan include 178 species, 60 genera and 9 Province, Iran (Fig. 2). Adult sawflies were families in Iran (Khayrandish et al., 2015, collected with sweep net on the dog rose 2017). Subsequent studies of Khayrandish (Rosa sp.) during June 2018. Major keys to & Ebrahimi (2018) and Khayrandish & species used for identification of collected Farahani (in press) increased the sawfly sawflies are as follow: Benson (1952, 1968), species reported from Iran to 187. Due to Zombori (1981), Zhelochovtsev & Zinovjev the lack of information and reports about (1993) and Haris (2000).
