Abstract

The present faunal study of springtails (Collembola) was conducted -in city of Tehran during 2013­-2014. Samples of soil and leaf litters from parks, forests, gardens and green landscapes were collected using Berlese funnels. A total of 21 species of eight families were identified of which the species Hypogastrura ripperi (Gisin, 1952), Mesaphorura macrochaeta (Rusek, 1976) and Friesea claviseta (Axelson,1900) are newly recorded from Iran and six species are recorded from Tehran for the first time. This study rises the number of known collembolan species from Tehran to 71 species.
