Abstract: This pa per on Iranian Pentatomoidea is based on the material collected by the th­ ree expeditions (1970, 1973, 19 77)of the National Museum (Natura l History), Praha to Iran and on the ad ditional material collected by the Iranian entomologists of Pla nt Pests and Diseases Research Institute, -Evin an d by J. Klapperich. The Iranian fau na of Pentatomoidea con­ sists of 261 species (Acanthosomatidae 2 species, Cydnid ae 36 species, Scutclleridae 39 species, Pentatomidae 184 species), of which 63 species are listed for first time for the fauna of Iran. Four species are described in this pape r Hosea (7}lonca) cun:uliorwides occidentolis ss p. n. from S. Iran,Alphocoris pfeifferi sp.n. from S. Iran and Iraq (Scutelleridae}, Mustha oicina sp.n. from S. an d W. Iran a nd Aeliomorpha paz ukii sp.n., from Gulfregion (Pentatcmidae). Redescsrip tion, accor ding to the types, had been made of two less known species Mus tha longispinis Reu ter (Anatolia) a nd Mustha serrato (Fabricius) (). All species of the genus Mustha are keyed. Phricodus pakistanica Hamid, 1974 is synonymized with Phricodus bessaci Villiers, 1965 and Mustha spinosa (Abbasi and Ha mid, 1971) is synonymized with Mustha gigantea Horvath, 1907.

3.4.1973 (lee. no. 15I). in stony semi- with typical grassy vegetation (Photo 1). Collected by the Czechoslovak-Iranian expedition. Holotype deposited in the collecti­ ons of the National Museum (NaL Hlst.), Praha. Paratype - 1 Q: S. Iraq. Baghdad, 2.6.1032 Y. Kalalova di-Lotu collected. A Jphocoris pfeifferi ep. n. belongs to small species of the genus an d is most closely allied to AJphocoris curculiorwides J akovlev recorded from Iran also.

The following comparison distinguishes the species: AJp!wcoris pfeifferi sp. n. General shape of the body rather slender, lateral margins of the scutellum even from base dist inctly narrowed and in the subapical part sin uately narrowed an d for­ ming a very narrow caudate part, terminally tru ncate . La teral angles of pronotum obtuse. Scutellum when seen from side in the middle slightly higher tha n on base and po- steriorly sinua tely dec1ivous and the extreme ape x raised. Puncturation on pronotum and scutellum large with distinct interspaces. Scutellum and pronotum with short and irregularly dispersed tomentum. Param eres in basal part nearly straight, basally widened. apical part strongly na r- rowed and longly hook-shaped.

Alphocoris curculiorn>ides J ak. Gene ral shape of the body elongate ovate, scutellum in basal half with nea rly stra­ ight and parallel margins and then gra dually narroved to the apex with nearly stra­ ight borders an d forming rather broad roundish terminal part. Late ral magins of pronotum subacute. Scutellum when seen from side anteriorly of equal elevation and then regularly dedivous till the apex. Puncturation on pronotum and scutellum fine and dense. Scutellum an d pronotum with more disti nct and dense tomentum. Parameres regularly distinctly sinuate, nearly ofequal width, apically shortly pointed.

In addition the distribution in Mrican an d Asiatic Ercmial (Mauretania, Senegal, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan) are eligib le for establishing Phricodus pakistan.ensis Hamid, 19074 as new synonymy of Phricodus beesaci Villiers , 1959.

Pentatomidae, however still less known an d sometimes difficult for determination. Two species of the genus are known only from original descriptions an d no more col­ lected later Mustha serrata (Fab.) from Syria and Mustha longispinis Reuter from North Ana tolia. In this pape r I am giving the redescription of these two mentioned species on basis of types. Species of the genus Mustha are predominantly distributed in East Mediterranean, S.W. Asia and Middle Asia. The genus includes eight species: Mustha oicina sp. n. ­ Iran. M. sermta (Fab.) - Syria, M. longispinis Reut. - N. Anatolia , M. gigantea Hoev. - Iran. Pakistan, M. spinosula ILef.)- East Mediterranea, S.W. Asia an d Middle Asia, M. incana Stal - Iran, Syria and M. morgani Horv. - Iran, Egypt, Palestine. J ordan, Saudi Arabia. Further species Mustha spinosa (Abbasi and Ahmad, 1971) originally descsribod in the genua Orlhoschizops Mulsant et Rey is identical with MustM gi. ganka Horv. descsribed from Ira n and fonns a new synonymy.

Herewith I give a key to species of genus Mustha. Amyot et Serville, 1843:

Fem ale specimen labelled ,.Mustha serreta" without locality. Syria as given by Reuter t RBO, Horvath 1907, Kirkaldy 1909, Osha nin 1906 and 1912 seems to be the adequate locality of this species. All known species of the genus Mustha occur in East Mediterranean , S.W. and Middle Asia. America as origin of thi s species given by Fabricius is incorrect. Thanks to the kindness of Dr. W. R. Dolling, London , I have been able to study the un ique specimen - type of Mustha serrata (Fabricius) described as Lygaeus serratus Fabricius and above 1am giving some characters additional to the original descripti­ on. The type specimen is rather demaged, there are missing legs and antennae and they arc substituted many years ago by those of a beetle (Curculionid). This substi­ tution has already been noticed by Dallas (1851). The extremities in all speciesofthe genu s Mustha show significant specific characters and their missi ng casts ~o doubt on thi s species. Mustha gigantea Horvath, 1907

Mesocoriu m dark, exocoriu m pale olivaceoua. Connexivum uni formly yellowish with dark puncturation. Pu nctura tion of upper surface sparse, rather plain. Terminal margin of pygophore broadly and deeply rou ndedIy exca vate d, in the middle below with distinct triangular process.

Aeliomorpha gazana Distant Length 6.32 moo (male) Head longer, 1.45 times as broad 88 long, distinctly nanowed anteriorly, paracly­ peal lobes apically conspicuously narrowed. Pronotum in the middle and posteriorly with large dark marking, the remaining parts pale brownish. Cicatrices on the pronotum elevated, sharply delimited . Scute llum apically narrowly roundish, disc of scutellum yellowish, la teral ma rgins in anterior half narrowly dark, apex with small dark spot. Hemelytra uniformly dark. Connexivum brownish , inner margin and poste rior fourth of each segment blac­ kish. Puncturation of upper surface more dense and dee p. Terminal margin of pygophore trapezoid excavated, margins of excavation nearly stright, lower part without process.

Survey of Pen tatomidea (Acanthosoma tidae, Cydnidae, Scutelleridae, Pentatomidae) in Iran. These four families of Pentatomoidea are represented in the fauna of Iran by 262 species (Acanthosomatidae 2, Cydnidae 37, Scutelleridae 39 and Pentatomidae 184). In Iran the fauna of Pentatomoidea is composed of 15 basic faunal elements of which the majority form species of Mediter ranean dis tributio n or of Mediterranean origin and secondary species of Eremian distributi on and species ranging through mountainous are as of S.W. and Middle Asia.
