چکیده
During the study of the family Cramidae in Iran, the entire material belonging to the subfamily Scopariinae deposited in the Hayk Mirzayans Insect Museum (HMIM), Iranian Research Institute of Plant Protection (IRIPP) which collected from different parts of Iran for more than 70 years were examined and the available literature on the fauna of this subfamily in Iran were revised. Up to 500 specimens were studied and many of them were dissected. Eight species in five genera viz. Anarpia Chapman, 1912, Eudonia Billberg, 1820, Iranarpia P. Leraut, 1982, Scoparia Haworth, 1811 and Syrianarpia P. Leraut, 1982 were identified based on their external morphological information and characteristics of their genitalia. Accordingly, Scoparia gallica Peyerimhoff, 1873 is newly reported for the fauna of Iran. An illustrated identification key for the genera occurring in Iran is provided and illustrated identification keys of all the 14 Scopariinae species known from Iran, including the previously reported species, based on the male genitalia are newly presented; additional data on the distribution of the identified species in Iran are also given.
