A list of Scarabaeoids collected in burrows of rodents in Iran is presented. It represents the fourth contribution by the authors aimed at increasing the knowledge of the nidicolous scarab beetles. <em>Aphodius</em> <em>coniugatus</em> (Panzer, 1795) and <em>Phaeaphodius</em> <em>tauricola</em> (Hrubant, 1961) (<em>Aphodiidae</em>) are recorded for the first time from Iran. Original drawings of aedeagus and epipharynx of the latter species are included. A new dichotomic key to the species of the <em>Onthophagus</em> <em>ponticus</em> lineage (Scarabaeidae) is presented.
