Abstract: The fauna of Iranian broad-headed bugs (Coreoidea: Alydidae) is studied in this
paper. A total of twenty-one species of eleven genera (Alydus Fabricius, 1803,
Camptopus Amyot & Serville, 1843, Euthetus Dallas, 1852, Heegeria Reuter,
1881, Megalotomus Fieber, 1860, Mirperus Stål, 1860, Nariscus Stål, 1865,
Nemausus Stål, 1866, Riptortus Stål, 1859, Tenosius Stål, 1860, Leptocorisa
Latreille, 1829) belonging to two subfamilies (Alydinae, Leptocorisinae) are
listed for Iranian fauna. Out of them, three species, Megalotomus junceus
(Scopoli, 1763), M. ornaticeps (Stål, 1858) and Leptocorisa oratoria
(Fabricius, 1794), are new records for Iran.
