The material belonging to the genus Asiotmethis (Pamphagidae: Thrinchinae) housed in the Hayk Mirzayans Insect Museum, Iranian Research Institute of Plant Protection as well as the specimens that collected in 2018, were examined based on morphological characters. As a result, three species were identified, i.e., A. artemisianus Shumakov, A. turritus (Fischer von Waldheim) and A. Limbatus (Charpentier). The first species was previously reported from Golestan province (North of Iran) and Khorasan-e-Razavi province (North East of Iran). The second species was previously reported from Golestan province and Azarbaijan-e-Sharghi (North West of Iran). A. limbatus that was collected and identified in Ilam province, South West of Iran is new to the Iranian fauna. Morphological identification key to the Iranian species belonging to the genus Asiotmethis, measurements data and major morphological characteristics of the three species are given along with original photographs and distribution map for the new record.
