A review of the genus Cylindromyia Meigen (Diptera: Tachinidae) in Iran, with the description of two new species and the newly discovered male of C. persica Tschorsnig (Eine Revision der Gattung Cylindromyia Meigen (Diptera: Tachinidae) im Iran, mit der Beschreibung von zwei neuen Arten sowie des neu entdeckten Männchens von C. persica Tschorsnig)

A study is presented of the Iranian species of the genus Cylindromyia Meigen (Diptera: Tachinidae). Two of the species, Cylindromyia uncinata gilasian, Talebi & Ziegler spec. nov. and Cylindromyia vallicola Ziegler & gilasian spec. nov., have been recognised as new to science and are described for the first time. Furthermore, the hitherto unknown male of Cylindromyia persica Tschorsnig has been found and is described for the first time. The six species C. rubida (loew), C. gemma (richTer), C. theodori Kugler, C. brevicornis (loew), C. montana Kugler and C. crassa (loew) are recorded from Iran for the first time. Locality collection data are listed for all 18 species found in Iran and the distribution of four species is illustrated with maps. The paper is completed with an identification key and with illustrations of the male abdominal sternite 5 of the Iranian species.
