Reitter”, “  H. Prometheusm. 1900 Type.”, “ Holotypus1901 ♂  Helops prometheusReitter”.   Notes. Reitter (1902)listed “ 1♂ ♀” in the original description, but I suggest that it is a misprint, because he described only male characters and only one maleis deposited in HNHM. In the same paper, he always indicated whether a character refers to a female or a male for other species and wrote “ 1 ♂und ♀”.   Distribution. Iran(Talysh). Extensive collecting efforts (more than 190 years) have not produced any records of this species in the territory of the modern Azerbaijani part of Talysh, where only  E. quadricolliswas collected in alpine meadows. In conclusion, I’m sure that the species occurs Iranian part of the Talysh Mountains and can be excluded from the Azerbaijani faunistic lists. Reitter (1922)also recorded  E. prometheusfor Astrabad (Now Gorgan, Iran), probably confusing it with  E. gorganicus. Kühnelt (1957)recorded  E. prometheusfrom the Caucasus and Central Iran; the second locality is erroneous. Abdurakhamanov & Nabozhenko (2011) partly mixed  E. prometheuswith females of  E. gorganicusand erroneously recorded it for Mazandaran Province. 3828382309 HNHM Coll. Reitter & H.
