This paper provides a report on Sphecidae and Crabronidae collected in a few localities of Fars province in southern Iran and belonging to the Department of Entomology, Islamic Azad University, Jahrom branch. Fourteen species belonging to 11 genera and 5 subfamilies were identified (as genus-species) from Sphecinae (4-5), Astatinae (1-2), Bembicinae (3-3), Crabroninae (2-3) and Philanthinae (1-1). Of these species, eight are first records for the Fars province.
