Abstract

This paper deals with a faunistic survey on Scarabaeidae (Coleoptera) of Iran. In total, 16 species in 10 genera and five subfamilies Aphodiinae, Cetoniinae, Melolonthinae, Rutelinae and Scarabaeinae were identified. Four species are new records for the fauna of Iran: Bodilopsis sordida sordida (FABRICIUS, 1775) and Phalacronothus biguttatus (GERMAR, 1824) (Aphodiinae), Onthophagus (Palaeonthophagus) basipustulatus HEYDEN, 1889 and Onthophagus (Palaeonthophagus) coenobita (HERBST, 1783) (Scarabaeinae).
