Three new species of the genus Polyommatus Latreille, 1804 (subgenus Agrodiaetus Hübner, [1822]) from Central Zagros, Iran (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae, Polyommatinae)
Copyright policy )Three new species of the genus Polyommatus Latreille, 1804 (subgenus Agrodiaetus Hübner, [1822]) from Central Zagros, Iran (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae, Polyommatinae)
The article describes three new species, Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) hejazii sp. nov. (type locality [TL]: Iran, Khuzestan, Mount Qaroon, Khuzestan province, Iran), P. (A.) ghasemii sp. nov. (TL: Koh-e-Rig Mountains, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, Iran), and P. (A.) persisinus sp. nov. (TL: Koh-e-Rig Mountains, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, Iran). The differences between the new taxa and the most similar, previously described P. (A.) ardschira, P. (A.) luna, P. (A.) shahrami, P. (A.) achaemenes, and P. (A.) pfeifferi (all from the Zagros) are provided in detail. Our study confirms that the Zagros is one of the exceptional centers of speciation and species diversity of Lepidoptera.
