Five are new: Cunaxoides decastroae sp. nov., Cunaxoides lootsi sp. nov., Pulaeus razanensis sp. nov., Lupaeus iranensis sp. nov. and Lupaeus sativae sp. nov. Lupaeus martini (Den Heyer, 1981), Lupaeus valentinae Sergeyenko and the male of Pulaeus krama (Chaudhri, 1977) are recorded for the first time from Iran. Descriptions, figures and a key to the Iranian Cunaxoidinae are provided. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6462FED6-9314-4FD7-A524-44666B40A64F
