The
re-examination of type material was unnecessary because the original description, figures and drawings (

This is the only species classified in the genus
Drilorhinus
, and it clearly differs from
Drilus
species
in the region by the yellowish to reddish brown head, the strongly projected frontoclypeal part of head, the subtrapezoidal, less transverse pronotum (1.30–1.35 times as wide as long), divergent elytra, and male genitalia 1.90 times as long as maximum phallobase width (head dark brown, frontoclypeal region short and widely concave, pronotum distinctly transverse, 1.60–1.80 times as wide as long, elytra adjacent to each other for almost their whole length, and male genitalia 1.65–1.70 times as long as maximum phallobase width in
Drilus iljini
and
D. iranicus
) (
