 Until recently, the ants' fauna of Iran has been rather poorly known. In this study, we recorded eight ants' species new to Iran, during 2008-2010. The species are as follow: Aphaenogaster splendida Roger, 1859; Cardiocondyla emeryi Forel, 1881; Monomorium acutinode Collingwood & Agosti, 1996; Pheidole sculpturata Mayr, 1866; Camponotus lateralis Olivier, 1792; Lepisiota melas Emery, 1915; Lepisiota niger Dalla Torre, 1893 and Plagiolepis schmitzii Forel, 1895. All species had symbiotic relationship with Nipaecoccus viridis (Newstead)
