Two species of Asilidae (Diptera), Machimus annulipes (Brullé, 1832), and Stenopogon elongatus (Meigen, 1804) were collected as the predators of Octotemnus rugosopunctatus from Semnan (Jangal-e Abr).	en	Drogvalenko, Alexander N., Ghahari, Hassan (2021): An annotated checklist of Ciidae (Coleoptera: Tenebrionoidea) of Iran.
