Abstract
An annotated synopsis of Iranian Bostrichidae (Coleoptera: Bostrichoidea) is provided as a basis for future studies, with notes on distribution, host plants, biology and economic importance. In total, 31 species from 18 genera and 4 subfamilies (Bostrichinae, Dinoderinae, Lyctinae and Psoinae) are listed from Iran. Sinoxylon anale Lesne, 1897, Sinoxylon perforans (Schrank, 1789), Stephanopachys linearis (Kugelann, 1792) and Xylopertha retusa (Olivier, 1790) are new records for Iran.
