Forum Entomologi Italiani

Hi,

This one comes from the Iranian province of Kermanshah. The aedeagus leads me to Pygopleurus distinctus, but not knowing the fauna of Iran, I have a (very big) doubt.

Data : Iran, Kermanshah Prov. - 40 km SE Kermanshah - 16 IV 2018 - size 15 mm

Thank you for your help !

Yes, it is correct
However, there seem to be some unrecognised diversity among populations currently referrable to this species.

Thanks once more, Marco.

I have some other Iranian glaphyrids : no problem for you to examine them in this forum ?

You're welcome
