Genus Pseudathous Méquignon, 1930

Comment. Based on the work by Pulvirenti & Platia (2022), all Iranian species previously classified in Hemicrepidius should be included in the genus Pseudathous . This applies to five species reported by Platia & Ghahari (2016) plus an additional one reported here (see below). Hemicrepidius hirtus (Linnaeus, 1784) and H. niger (Linnaeus, 1758) were already transferred to Pseudathous by Pulvirenti & Platia (2022). Here, we propose the following new combinations: Pseudathous agajevi (Platia, 2008) comb. nov. (originally in Hemicrepidius; Platia 2008), Pseudathous nigritulus (Reitter, 1890) comb. nov. (originally in Athous, later in Hemicrepidius; Reitter 1890, Cate 2007, respectively), and Pseudathous rahmei (Németh & Platia, 2014) comb. nov. (originally in Hemicrepidius; Németh & Platia 2014).
