This species is apparently endemic to the south-eastern Iranian province of Kerman and seems to be phenetically very distinct from all other species of this subgenus, primarily because of the unique elytral pattern. A key to the species of the nominate subgenus distributed in Iran is also presented. %K Iran %K taxonomy %K new species %K key to the species %U http://www.pensoft.net/journals/zookeys/article/3674/
