Abstract

Among the insect specimens collected by a series of Malaise traps, in the different parts of Fars province, in southern Iran, two species of Tachytes matronalis Dahlbom, 1845 and Trypoxylon aegyptium Kohl, 1906 (Hymenoptera: Apoidea, Crabronidae) were identified. Hereby, they are new records for the Iranian insect fauna.
