Abstract

An annotated list of the tiger beetles (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) reported from the Syrian Arab Republic was developed from existing literature and collections. Thirteen species/subspecies representing 7 genera are confirmed as occurring in modern-day Syria. These are differentiated from those reported from regions adjacent to the Syrian borders and likely to occur in Syria and from those reported from ancient Syria and likely do not occur in modern-day Syria. Habitat and distribution records along with other available remarks are provided for each species listed. These data further clarify the occurrence of tiger beetles in the Syrian Arab Republic and its environs.
