Anisepyris near pallidipennis (Kieffer, 1906)

Rhabdepyris pallidipennis Kieffer, 1906:382–383 , ♀. – HNHM (lost), Hungary.

Distribution in Iran: East Azarbaijan province ( Samadi Afshar et al., 2012).

General Distribution: Palaearctic ( Czech Republic, Slovakia - Macek et al., 2007; France - Berland, 1928, 1935, Marhic, 2022; Hungary - Kieffer & Marshall, 1906; Iran - Samadi Afshar et al., 2012).

Note: The type of this species originally described in Rhabdepyris Kieffer (1904) is lost ( Gordh & Móczár, 1990). The available taxonomic data is not enough to reach its identity. Waichert & Azevedo (2009) transferred this species into Anisepyris when they synonymized Trichotepyris Kieffer, 1906 under Anisepyris . However, it is a Neotropical genus ( Barbosa & Azevedo, 2018). According to few vouchers of this species deposited in some European museums, it is quite probable that it would be better to locate it in Epyris Westwood, 1832 .
