A total of twenty-one species of eleven genera (Alydus Fabricius, 1803,, 1829) belonging to two subfamilies (Alydinae, Leptocorisinae) are listed for Iranian fauna. Out of them, three species, Megalotomus junceus (Scopoli, 1763), M. ornaticeps (Stål, 1858) and Leptocorisa oratoria (Fabricius, 1794), are new records for Iran. Introduction The broad-headed bugs (Alydidae) are a cosmopolitan family of coreoid bugs. About 50 genera and over 200 species are known worldwide (DOLLING 2006), with most species occur-ring in the subtropical and tropical regions of the world; for example, Europe has a mere 10 species, and only four of them occur outside the Mediterranean region (SLATER 1982, SCHUH & SLATER 1995, DOLLING 2006).
