Summary. The catalogue of Iranian rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) which is based on detail study of all available published data is presented in this paper. Totally 716 species from four groups (Omaliine, Tachyporine, Oxyteline, Staphylinine) and 16 subfamilies (including, Aleocharinae, Habrocerinae, Leptotyphylinae, Omaliinae, Osoriinae, Oxyporinae, Oxytelinae, Paederinae, Proteininae, Pselaphinae, Scaphidiinae, Scydmaeninae, Staphylininae, Steninae, Tachyporinae and Trichophyinae) are currently recognized as occurring in Iran.
Резюме. На основе тщательного изучения всех доступных публикаций составлен каталог стафилинид Ирана (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae). Всего к настоящему моменту для Ирана указывается 716 видов из 4 внесистематических групп (Omaliine, Tachyporine, Oxyteline, Staphylinine) и 16 подсемейств (Aleocharinae, Habrocerinae, Leptotyphylinae, Omaliinae, Osoriinae, Oxyporinae, Oxytelinae, Paederinae, Proteininae, Pselaphinae, Scaphidiinae, Scydmaeninae, Staphylininae, Steninae, Tachyporinae и Trichophyinae).
INTRODUCTION
Rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) are the most diverse family in hexapoda with over than 56.768 valid species in 3.624 genera and 33 subfamilies. These beetles has worldwide distribution but their diversity is more various in tropical and temperate than in arctic regions, and also more diverse in moist forested areas than in drier areas or deserts [Newton and Thayer, 1992; Thayer, 2005]. Rove beetles are known from every type of habitat that beetles occur in, and their diets include just about everything except the living tissues of higher plants. Most rove beetles are predators of insects and other kinds of invertebrates, living in forest leaf litter and similar kinds of decaying plant matter. They are also commonly found under stones, and around freshwater margins. Several types are known to live on ocean shores that are submerged at high tide, several species have adapted to live as inquilines in ant and termite colonies, and some live in mutualistic relationships with mammals whereby they eat fleas and other parasites, benefiting the host. Most species are probably predators of other arthropods as far as known, but large numbers including several entire subfamilies are saprophagous on decaying plant matter (e.g., Osoriinae, Oxytelinae, Piestinae), fungivorous (e.g., Oxyporinae, Scaphidiinae), or have other specialized feeding habits such as pollenfeeding, but very few feed on green plants. A few species are of economic or medical importance, such as species of Paederus spp. [Newton and Chandler, 1989; Smetana, 1995; Herman, 2001]. Although rove beetles appetites for other insects would seem to make them obvious candidates for biological control of pests, and empirically they are believed to be important controls in the wild, experiments with using them have not been notably successful [White, 1983].

Iran forms a large part of the Iranian plateau, and covers an area of 1,623,779 km2 (Fig. 1). It is bordered in the north by the Caucasus Mts., Middle Asian natural regions and the Caspian Sea (-27 m below sea level); in the west by the Anatolian and Mesopotamian regions; in the east by the eastern part of the Iranian plateau (Afghanistan and adjacent west Pakistan) and the Baluch-Sindian region; and finally in the south by the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea, which are connected by the latter to the Indian Ocean. Seven desert plains and depressions give the landscape a completely different appearance: Dasht-e Kavir in Central Iran, Dasht-e Lut desert, Sistan and Jazmurian depressions in the southeast, Khuzestan plain in the southwest, Moghan steppe in the northwest and the Turkman-Sahra steppe in the northeast. Six main watershed areas are recognized within the country, but the central and southern watersheds in particular often are divided up into 21 by different authors. More than 20 larger lakes form part of the landscape of Iran, with the largest one, the saline Urumia Lake, covering 4,868 km2 in the northwest [Zehzad et al., 2002, Hangay et al., 2005]
The fauna of Iranian Staphylinidae was poorly studied so far and the newest checklist on this important and big family was prepared by Anlas and Newton [2010]. But the mentioned list does not include all the reported data and it lost some species; because there are some journals in Iran which are not available for all the researchers of the world. The objective of this paper is summarizing all the published data on Iranian Staphylinidae and arranging of all the species known from Iran to the present time in an impressive checklist.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The published data on Staphylinidae family in Iran was

summarized. The catalogue comprises the following data: the valid taxa name, published records with provincial distribution, or where this information is not available - "Not cited" or "no locality cited" are given. Iranian provinces are given in alphabetical order in the lists. In the catalogue, the family Staphylinidae is divided into four informal groups of subfamilies (Omaliine, Tachyporine, Oxyteline and Staphylinine Groups, following Lawrence & Newton [1982], and the subfamilies are presented according to Herman [2001] and Lobl & Smetana [2004]. Supertribe, tribe, subtribe, genus and species taxa are presented in alphabetical order. The classification generally follows Lobl & Smetana [2004] except for certain more recent changes, including at higher levels the reduction of Scydmaenidae to a subfamily of Staphylinidae and reduction of its former subfamilies to supertribes [Grebenikov & Newton, 2009] and changes in the tribal classification of Oxytelinae [Makranczy, 2006], as well as changes or additions at the generic and specific levels resulting from recent revisions.

DISCUSSION
The fauna of Iranian rove beetles is studied in this paper. The result indicates that the fauna of Iranian Staphylinidae is very diverse and several new records are added to the list annually. Iran is a large country and with attention to its various geographical climates, we estimate that 1500 staphylinid species can be present in this country.
