FC2787BDFF9DFF80FE7D272305606FBE.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. The new species belongs to the nominotypical subgenus Isometopus. It is close to I. vanharteni, and in spite of similarity to this and other Isometopus species known from the Middle East and Europe, the new taxon can be readily separated from all other species by using the revised key to the species of Isometopus based on AKINGBOHUNGBE (2012).	en	Hosseini, Reza (2017): A new species of Isometopus from Iran (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Isometopinae).

FC2787BDFF9DFF80FE7D272305606FBE.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species is named in honour of Dr. Rauno E. Linnavuori, a good friend and colleague who introduced mirid bugs to me for the first time. Collection circumstances. Collected by light trap near Populus sp. trees.	en	Hosseini, Reza (2017): A new species of Isometopus from Iran (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Isometopinae).
