Abstract
A taxonomical catalogue of 124 nominal species of the Iranian Syrphidae belonging to two subfamilies, 14 tribes, and 39 genera was provided. Based mostly on various faunistical survey reports, no syrphid species with collection records from Iran were listed. Therefore, we did not intend to confirm identifications by the previous studies except very obvious cases. A more comprehensive collection-based study is needed to confirm the actual Iranian occurrence of each species listed in this catalog.
