Abstract

Tachys shirazi Jedlička, 1968 is redescribed and included in the genus and subgenus Tachys (s. str.) Dejean, 1821. Tachys (Tachys) torretassoi Schatzmayr & Koch, 1934 is also newly recorded from Iran. The records of T. (T.) scutellaris scutellaris Stephens, 1828 and T. (T.) dimediatus dimediatus Motschulsky, 1849 for Iran by Azadbakhsh & Nozari (2015) are doubtful. Furthermore, Tachyura (s. str.) shahinei Schatzmayr & Koch, 1934 was erroneously recorded as Tachys by them.
