Remarks.
Werner (1939)
described this taxon in the genus
Tmethis
,
but it can be understood from the description, that it is undoubtedly a member of
Iranotmethis
. Bey-Bienko describing
I. cyanipennis cyanipes
Bey-
Bienko, 1951
(
Bey-Bienko & Mistshenko 1951: 299
) did not know the paper of
Werner (1939)
. The
type
localities of
I. cyanipennis iranicus
(
Werner, 1939
)
and
I. cyanipennis cyanipes
are the same place, Karaj. The only
type
specimen of
I. cyanipennis iranicus
is lost, but the description and the coloration of the hind legs (
Werner 1939: 131
) agree with
I. cyanipennis cyanipes
except for the size of the female.
According to the ICZN (Articles 31.2, 34.2) the subspecies name of this taxon is combined.
