Abstract

During our research on the Diptera fauna ofnorthern Iran
during 2017–2018, three species of the family Clusiidae have been collected and identified. Clusiaflava
(Meigen, 1830), Clusia tigrina (Fallén, 1820) and Clusiodes ruficollis (Meigen, 1830) are recorded from
Iran for the first time. These also represent the first records of the family Clusiidae from Iran.
