Abstract
The order Entomobryomorpha is one of the four important orders of the Collembola (Springtails). These arthropods are distinguished from the rest of the Collembola by having the third abdominal segment larger than the fourth segment and having scales in some species. In this study, the list of Entomobryomorpha species (Collembola) in Iran has been prepared based on scientific sources related to Collembola reports between 2020 and 2025 and the materials examined in the present study. This chekist includes 139 species in 41 genera belonging to six families of the order Entomobryomorpha along with the materials examined and distribution in the world and Iran. Three species, including one species from the family Entomobryidae, Lepidocyrtus lignorum (Fabricius, 1775), one species from the family Tomoceridae, Tomocerus asiaticus Martynova 1969, and the species Desoria kaszabi Dunger, 1982 from the family Isotomidae, are new to the fauna of Iran. A list of Entomobriamorpha species, descriptions of new records, along with some images and a key to the Iranian species of the family Tomoceridae are provided.
