Abstract
The genus Miscophus Jurine, 1807 (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) was studied in two discrete fragments of the Northern (Alborz, Qazvin, Guilan, Mazandaran and Tehran provinces), and southern (Khuzestan and Hormozgan provinces) inlands of Iran. The specimens were collected using Malaise traps in the years 2010, 2011 and 2017. Twelve species were identified, of which five species are new records for the fauna of Iran: Miscophus ctenopus Kohl, 1885; M. niger Dahlbom, 1844; M. aenigma Honore, 1944; M. irwini Schmid-Egger, 2022 and M. caninus Andrade, 1953. An identification key for all Iranian species of the genus Miscophus and brief diagnoses for the new records are provided.
