Based on the published statistics of diseases management center, yearly frequency of scorpion bite in Iran between 2001 to 2003 has been 38415 bite and the rate of death wich is resultant of scorpion bite has been 21 cases during a year. Doubtless scorpion bite is one of our medical problems, but what is important regarding this matter is a fear that people have about this creature. Unfortunately a precise and right statistcs toward the risk of this creature bite does not exist. Till based on that, it woud be possible to recognize scorpion bite of our society is related to what species and it has what a status among category of death causes and based on that prepre a antivenom monovalan related to every scorpion؛ surely we can not deny this problem in south and west regions of our country specially for hot seasons.In this research first, Ilam province based on geography position, scorpion bitting domain, climate and local researches divided to 14 region of sampling. By use of valid identifying keys such as Navid pour(2008), samples recognizes, frequency of scorpion species in each climate region has showed and their distribution map by use of GIS software has drawn. In Ilam province, among 390 hunted scorpion, 10 species include Hottentotta saulcyi(23/07), Mesobuthus eupeus(22/56), Compsobuthus matthiesseni(13/07), hemiscorpius lepturus(12/3), Orthochirus iranus(7/94), Razianus zarudnyi(4/87), Androctonus crassicaudata(4/1), Buthacus macrocentrus(3/33), Scorpio maurus(2/56), Odontobuthus bidentatus(1/02) scorpion identified.

Ants with more than 13.700 species belong to Formicidae family and Hymenoptera order. Ants are the most well-known social insects that have a significant impact on the ecosystems of their habitat. The role of these insects in the physical and chemical changes of the soil and their interaction with plants, microorganisms and other living organisms is undeniable. Iran, with its diverse climatic conditions and habitat variety, has a great diversity of plant and animal species. The research is conducted in order to complete the faunistic of ants located in the eastern part of Kurdistan province in Iran. The region is divided into 11 zones according to different ecological conditions in which samples are collected either manually or by hand and pit fall. In the work about 23 species derived from 11 genus and three subfamilies are identified.

Abstract The Syrphidae family (Known as hover flies or flower flies) is one of the largest families of Diptera with almost 6000 species. Adult flies feed on nectar and pollen of flowers and they are crucial agent in pollinating process. The larvae of many species of Syrphidae are predators of Aphids and play an important role in biological control of pests. In the following faunestic investigation, some ecological indices of Syrphidae family was carried out in Torbat-e Heydarie, Roshtkhar & Khaf cities (Razavi Khorasan Province) during 2010-2011and the most dominant species has been identified in each station of the study area. Adult species were collected randomly with entomological net and transferred to animal biosystematics lab in Shahid Beheshti University. The specimens have been identified by valid identification keys. After identification of species in 987 specimens, they have been sent to prof. Barkalov from institute of animal systematics and ecology, Siberian, Russia to confirm the obtain results and specimens were stored in the insect museum of bioscience faculty of Shahid Beheshti University. After survey of Iranian Syrphidae checklist, three species; Eumerus ornatus, Pipizella virens, Platycheirus fulviventris are new recorded from Razavi Khorasan Province. Two genus Pipizella and Platycheirus, are added to genus reported of Razavi Province’s fauna. So far, the report of Platycheirus fulviventris from Guilan Province, Pipizella virens from north of Iran and Eumerus ornatus from Damavand city show that wider the range extension of this species in Iran.

Abstract Scorpions are the oldest terrestrial arthropodas. Scorpions dig their nest in the ground to protect themselves and their infants from light, high and low tempreture. Regarding habitat, species, depth and the palce of digging, the nest of scorpions would be various , with due regard to the climate of Khuzestan Province and the variety of Scorpion species in this Province, investigation of Scorpion nesting behaviors is an essential issue in Scorpionology. In this research, the nesting behaviors of two types of Scorpions Odothouths bidentatus and Scorpio mauruss were examined. In this Survey, length and width of the nest entrance were measured and small models of the nests were made by means of injecting materials such as cement and chalk in these nests. After the computation of mean, Standard deviation and Standard error of measurment applying T-test and the Significance of error less than%5 , the result of measuring width and length of the entrance, different parts of the nest including initial, middle, final and length of the nest of Scorpion s under investigation were compared. To compare the parameters insides the species, nonparametric Freedman method was applied, and also to compare the measured parameters concerning physicochemical properties of Scorpion soilbed, Mann Whitney method was used.

ABSTRACT
Rana is a genus of the Ranidae family. This genus has a worldwide distribution, with six subfamilies, 30 genera and 500 species in the world. Frogs of Iran are still known very incompletely. Results of the study of frogs fauna in 343 different localities of 20 provinces of Iran and other studies which have been done by other researchers, recorded a total of two genera and four species from these areas: Rana ridibunda, Rana camerani, Rana macrocnemis and Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis. Their distribution in Iran is limited and some taxonomic information is given for each species. There are two aims in the present study: the first one is to provide reliable description that will allow unambiguous and true identification of these species of Iran. The second aim is to provide information on distribution and biology of this family to enhance future studies.
