This study increases about three times the number of species of Crabronidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera) previously known from the south Iranian province of Fars. We include 91 species, most of them being relatively widely distributed in south Palaearctic. Three genera and 32 species represent first records for Iran. A description of the previously unknown male of Miscophus gratiosus de Andrade, 1960 is provided. Character variation in Cerceris vagans Radoszkowski, 1877, Liris niger (Fabricius, 1775), and Solierella compedita (Piccioli, 1869) is discussed.

Host information from Iran and distributional data are also provided. Three genera and 7 species are first recorded from Iran. New host records are provided for three species. Two new species, Gyranusoidea iranica sp. n. and Microterys iranicus sp. n., are described and diagnostic characters are provided for them.
