List of taxa<br />
Synonyms are listed in chronological order, except that homotypic synonyms are kept together.<br />
<strong>The</strong> list is (hopefully) nomenclaturally complete, although the emphasis is on Iranian <strong>species</strong>.<br />
Descriptions are restricted to <strong>new</strong> taxa plus a few corrections <strong>and</strong> emendations to the previous<br />
treatments by Wendelbo (1961), Grey-Wilson (1989) <strong>and</strong> Jamzad (1996). Three eastern <strong>species</strong>,<br />
for which taxonomic status has not been ascertained as the types have not been seen, are included<br />
in the list under a closely similar <strong>species</strong>.<br />
