New Addition to Sawflies (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) from Hyrcanian Forests in Northern Iran

The sawfly fauna (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) was studied in Hyrcanian Forests. The specimens were collected using Malaise traps during March to November 2016. Thirty-seven species of Symphyta were obtained from forest areas in Golestan and Mazandaran Provinces. Among them, five species were recorded for the first time from Iran: Fenella minuta (Dahlbom, 1835), Hoplocampa chrysorrhoea (Klug, 1816), Nematus glaphyropus Dalla Torre, 1882, Macrophya ribis (Schrank, 1781) and Phylloecus niger (M. Harris, 1779). The genus Fenella is newly recorded from Iran. General discussion is given for the sawfly fauna of Iran.
