03EB87F55956FFE73859FAE93D35F7F5.taxon	discussion	The genus Acetropis Fieber, 1858 currently contains seven species subdivided into two subgenera based on the structure of the head and the first antennomere (Wagner, 1967; Štys, 1973). The subgenus Acetropis consists of A. carinata (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1841), A. americana Knight, 1927, A. gimmerthali (Flor, 1860), A. longirostris Puton, 1875, A. sinuata Wagner, 1951, A. stysi Remane & Günther, 2008, and A. sinuata Wagner, 1951. The subgenus Paracetropis Wagner, 1962 is monotypic, containing A. atropis Reuter, 1895. Of these, six species are represented in the western Palearctic region, while A. americana is found exclusively in western Oregon, North America (Knight, 1927; Slater & Baranowski, 1978). This genus occurs on grasses (Poaceae), although few specific host plants have been identified (Southwood & Leston, 1959; Koppanyi, 1965). In this paper, Acetropis is reported for the first time from Iran.	en	Zamani, Mozhgan, Hosseini, Reza, Konstantinov, Fedor V.

Acetropis carinata could be easily distinguished from A. longirostris Puton, 1875, a species found in adjacent countries of Iran (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkey) by the following characters: pronotum has a distinct longitudinal carina in the middle, the apex of the frons is pointed and covers the clypeus, and the labium reaches metacoxae. In A. longirostris the pronotum has an indistinct carina, the apex of the frons does not cover the clypeus and the labium extends well beyond the metacoxae (Kerzhner, 1964).	en	Zamani, Mozhgan, Hosseini, Reza, Konstantinov, Fedor V.
