Evagetes fabrei Smissen, 2003

Evagetes fabrei Smissen, 2003:109, ♀.— Sille, Konya, Turkey (OLL).

Distribution in Iran: ALBORZ (EBRAHIMI et al. 2008), TEHRAN—DAMAVAND (SMISSEN 2003).

Remarks: SMISSEN (2003) EXAMINED THE TyPE SERIES OF Evagetes gusenleitneri WOLF, 1988 AND FOUND TWO SPECIES AMONg THEM. Evagetes gusenleitneri REMAINS A VALID SPECIES AND IS ONLy KNOWN FROM TURKEy, WHEREAS SMISSEN (2003) DESCRIBED SOME PARATyPES OF E. gusenleitneri FROM TURKEy AND IRAN AS E. fabrei NEW SPECIES . SO THE RECORD OF “ E. gusenleitneri ” FROM “ ELBURS, DAMAVAND-GEBIET, POLUR, 2000 M, 23.7.1977, LEg. J. GUSENLEITNER" REFERS TO E. fabrei, AND E. gusenleitneri WAS NOT KNOWN TO IRAN UNTIL NOW. OTHER RECORDS OF E. gusenleitneri AS “ TEHRAN ” (WOLF et al. 2009) ALSO ARE DOUBTFUL AND MUST BE CHECKED.
