The genus Geron belongs to the monotypic tribe Gerontini Hesse within the subfamily Toxophorinae Schiner. Geron occurs on all continents and is divided into four subgenera, of which only Geron sensu stricto is known from the Old World. Previously, three species of Geron were known from Iran: Geron kozlovi Zaitzev, 1972; Geron krymensis Paramonov, 1929; and Geron olivierii Macquart, 1840. Here, Geron mystacinus Bezzi, 1924 is newly recorded from Iran. The adult genitalia are illustrated, and the species identity is briefly discussed.
