The present study deals with the fauna of the genera Laphria Meigen, 1803 and Pogonosoma Rondani, 1856 in Iran. Specimens were collected, using Malaise traps, from Guilan and Mazandaran provinces during 2010-2012. Overall, four species were identified, of which the two species, Laphria caspica Hermann, 1906 and Pogonosoma unicolor Loew, 1873 are newly recorded from Iran. The diagnostic characters and supplementary photographs of the newly recorded species are provided.
