Most Megachilidae considered as cosmopolitan bees (Michener, 2007), being found across a wide diversity of habitats on all continents except Antarctica, ranging from lowland tropical rainforests to deserts to alpine environments (Gonzalez et al., 2012). Iran possesses an extensive and rich bee fauna (Warncke, 1979(Warncke, , 1980(Warncke, , 1981(Warncke, , 1985, but in spite of the investigations of several entomologists over the last six decades (Popov, 1967;Esmaili & Rastegar, 1974;Warncke, 1979Warncke, , 1980Warncke, , 1981Warncke, , 1985Talebi et al., 1995;Izadi et al., 2004;Tavakoli, 2004;Engel, 2004Engel, , 2006Monfared et al., 2009;Tavakoli et al., 2010;Khaghaninia et al., 2010;Nadimi et al., 2013aNadimi et al., , 2013bNadimi et al., , 2014Khodaparast & Monfared, 2013aKeshtkar et al., 2015;Kiani Bakiani et al., 2016;Falamarzi et al., 2017;Goodarzi & Monfared, 2018;Nazari et al, 2019;Khodarahmi Ghahnaveyeh & Monfared, 2019) the faunistic data on wild bees in Iran is still not complete.

In this study, the distribution of 88 species of the family Megachilidae, out of 3678 specimens in the Iranian Pollinator Insects Museum of Yasouj University (IPIM), which were collected in spring and summer 2009–2017 from different regions of Iran including Ardabil, Chaharmahal-o Bakhtiari, Fars, Golestan, Isfahan, Kerman, Khuzestan, Kohgiluyeh-va Boyer-Ahmad, Sistan-o Baluchestan, Alborz, are presented. Data on the number of specimens, locations, coordinates and distribution maps for Iran and global distribution of all species (where available) are also provided. Megachile (Megachile) octosignata Nylander 1852 is first recorded from Iran. Ninetheen species are reported for the first time from Chaharmahal-o Bakhtiari and Kohgiluyeh-va Boyer-Ahmad Provinces.
