An update list of Pamphagidae Brumster ۱۸۴۰ (Insecta: Orthoptera) of Iran with a key to the genera

The Orthoptera family Pamphagidae is classified differently by various authors. The family recently has been grouped into five subfamilies: Akinerinae, Priotropinae, Tropidauchinae, Nocarodesinae and Pamphaginae. This family has ۱۰۳ species in Iran. Here, a key to genera is provided which identifies ۱۰ genera with ۳۳ winged species in Trinchini, and ۱۱ genera with a total of ۷۰ wingless species. Saxetania Mischenko and Tropidauchen Saussure have many characters in common and were combined into a single genus in the past. However, here both genera are considered valid with ۱۶ recorded species for Saxetania and ۷ recorded species for Tropidauchen. The morphological differences between them are described. A list of Pamphagidae species recorded for Iran is provided with a short revision of their taxonomy.
