Abstract

The last checklist of Iranian Collembola (Hexapoda) including 112 species was published in 2013. After 2013, faunistic studies on Collembola were increased dramatically in Iran. During 2013-2018, 120 species from 78 genera belonging to 18 families were recorded or described. Hence, updating the list of recorded species from Iran seems necessary. Here an updated chechklist of Iranian Collembola including 232 species within 95 genera together with their geographical distributions are provided. Considering the number of species, Isotomidae and Entomobryidae are the richest families. While, most of the families belonging to the Symphypleona represented by only one species.
