Abstract

We report on 59 recorded and described species in 11 different genera, providing their original combination and synonymy, if relevant. The type locality of 29 species (47.4%) is Iran and the distributions of the others as follows: 13.5% Nearctic, 10.1% Neotropical, 6.7% Afrotropical, 5% Eastern Palearctic, 10.1% Oriental, 5% Australian and 3.3% are Pacific Islands. At this early stage of research, the Iranian fauna is dominated by Cenopalpus and to a lesser extent by Aegyptobia and Tenuipalpus.
