Catalogue of Iranian subfamily Galerucinae s. str. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

The first comprehensive catalogue of leaf beetles (subfamily Galerucinae s. str.) from Iran is reviewed and several field trips were conducted from 2012 to 2015. In total, 44 species belonging to 18 genera of three tribes (Galerucini, Hylaspini and Luperini) are listed. Iranian Galerucinae is characterized by 11 endemic species. For every species provincial distributions is given based on available literature records and additional province records were examined. All species that deposited in Jalal Afshar Zoological Museum (University of Tehran) are reported.
