Nemotelus notatus Zetterstedt, 1842 * (fig. 1, c–d) M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Iran, East Azerbaijan, Oskulu Region (located in center of Arasbaran forests); 38°51ʹ48.78˝ N, 46°50ʹ45.54˝ E, 1667 m, 2.08.2009, 1}, 2 {(Khaghaninia leg.). D i s t r i b u t i o n: Palaearctic (most parts of Europe) (Woodley, 2001; Popescu- Mirceni and Parvu, 2009), first record for Iran. R e m a r k: Mason et al. (2009) synonymized N. brachystomus with N. notatus, this species was reported under the name N. brachystomus from all over the Middle East. Studied specimens of this species have some variation in genitalia compared with other European and western populations, such as very long pointy inner processes. There might be several distinct species under the concept of N. notatus, but this is beyond the scope of our investigation.
