Abstract

There is not a comprehensive cheklist on Halictidae family in Iran yet. In this survey, 1179 specimens of the Halictid bees collected from various area of Iran were examined. Among them, we found 78 species of Halictid bees as a major component of the Apoidea fauna in Iran. Herein, a list of the halictid bees, with localities name, geographical coordinations of localities, and number of male and female specimens is provided. Also, distribution of species in Iran, based on the material collected in this study and the worldwide distribution (where applicable) are presented. Five species are recorded for the first time from following provinces, respectively: Lasioglossum (Ctenonomia) vagans (Smith, 1857), from Sistan-o Baluchestan, Halictus (Vestitohalictus) nasica Morawitz, 1876, from Isfahan and Sistan-o Baluchestan, Halictus tetrazoinus (Klug, 1817) from Charmahal-o Bakhtiari, Halictus fatsensis Blüthgen, 1936, from Charmahal-o Bakhtiari, Halictus (Seladonia) fuscicollis Morawitz, 1876, from Sistan-o Baluchestan.
