Abstract Amphibians have common ecosystems with humans. Therefore, the identification of taxonomy of these organisms is important. The purpose of this research is to identify the fauna diversity of amphibians in northern Ardebil province. This province has 1.1% of the total area of the country and is located in north of the Iranian plateau. A total of 48 amphibians were collected from 33 stations and identified by analyzing morphological traits using valid authentication keys. In addition, the collection stations and frequency charts of the identified samples are presented. These samples consist of four amphibian species belonging to the families such as: Ranidae, Bufonidae and Hylidae. Furthermore, Hyla savignyi species is reported for the first time in this area. This species is the only tree species living in Iran. Among these amphibians, the highest number of specimens belong to Pelophylax ridibunda ridibunda and the lowest number of specimens belong to the Hyla savignyi. Finally, the collected samples include marsh frog, frog banded, green toad, tree frog with a frequency of 42, 27, 19 and 12%, respectively.

The rodents order is the largest class of mammalians; and they are very important in the medicine and agriculture. During of faunistic study on rodent order (Order: Rodent) in Marand region (East Azerbaijan province), North west of Iran, from 2012 to 2015, 6 Species collected and diagnostic. In this research, species were collected from the mountains, farms, villages and houses by traps and poisonous baits. The rodents recognized in Marand region are: 1- Mus musculus, 2- Ellobius fuscocapillus, 3- Microtus socialis, 4- Apodemus sylvaticus, 5- Meriones persicus,6- Cricetulus migratorius.

Determination of Faunistic of Subfamily Syrphinae (Dip: Syrphidae) in Southern Half of Ardabil province Hoverflies (Syrphidae), are one of the biggest and the most important Family of order Diptera. The adult form of this family feed on flowers pollen and nectar. The larva of the most species are predator and feed on aphids and play a significant role in biological control pests. A Faunistic investigation has been carried out in the Southern part of the Ardabil Province during 2012-2013.The adult flies are collected by sweeping nets,mounted and transferd to biosystematic research lab of Shahid Beheshti University.The specimens were identified using exist identification keys. The results pertain to 19 species belong to 11 genuses from 3 Tribe Syrphini , Paragini , Bacchini from sub family Syrphinae.
Syrphus vitripennis - Eupeodes corollae - Eupeodes luniger« - Eupeodes latifasciatus« - Xanthogramma pedissequum« - Sphaerophoria scripta - Sphaerophoria rueppellii - Episyrphus balteatus - Paragus hemorrhous« - Paragus tibialis« - Paragus albifrons« - Paragus quadrifasciatus - Parasyrphus nigritarsis« - Ischiodon scutellaris - Xanthandrus comtus«- Scaeva selenitica« - Scaeva pyrasteri - Scaeva albomaculata- Melanostoma scalare«
