Abstract

The genus Muscina Robineau-Desvoidy is represented by five species, in the Palaearctic region, of which the four species Muscina levida (Harris), M. pascuorum (Meigen), M. prolapsa (Harris) and M. stabulans (Fallén) are collected through this study. The two species M. pascuorum and M. prolapsa are newly reported from Iran. A key to the Iranian known species and their distribution as well as images of habitus, wings and male genitalia of three species are presented.
