Four new species are described: Bibio alborzensis sp. n., B. admirabilis sp. n., B. maroccanus sp. n. and B. pravdini sp. n. di ering in body coloration, wing venation, structure and pubescence of female head and morphology of male terminalia (tergite 9, cerci, hypoproct and aedeagus). A key to species based on the characters of both sexes is given.
