This species was described from Eastern Turkey (Mush Prov., Buglan pass) and was characterized by the author as similar to C. colchica Reitter, 1890. It is mistake in our opinion, because the male genital structure allows us to conclude that C. napolovi belongs to the “ alpin a ” species-group. Cortodera colchica and allied species havn’t the large sclerite in the medial part of the endophallus, while it is specific character of C. alpina Ménétries, 1832 (Figs 4 – 6). In addition, such well-known characters as the shape of lateral lobes (Figs 1 – 3) and penis (Figs 7 – 8), confirm belonging C. napolovi to the “ alpina ” species-group.	en	Kasatkin, D. G.

According to the Catalogue [Danilevsky, 2020 b], this species is widespread in Near East and Transcaucasia: Turkey, Iraq, Armenia, Georgia and Iran. Data on the possible distribution of P. kurda in Georgia and Armenia are based on the publication of Miroshnikov [2011] and are unconfirmed. The record for Iran (as P. emmipoda Mulsant, 1863) is based on the work of Villiers [1967], who listed two locality: Karand (apparently Semnan Province) and Ghasr-e- Chirin (Kermanshakh Province). The record of P. kurda in How to cite this article: Kasatkin D. G. 2021.

We collected some specimens of Ph. prasina in Hamedan and Azerbaijan-e-Qarbi Provinces of Iran. All our beetles were collect on Nonea anchusoides Boiss. et Buhse. Ph. irakensis Breuning, 1967 was described by a single specimen from ´´ Irak, Sultan-Balagh, 25.5.1963 ´´ [Breuning, 1967]. Label data of the holotype is “ Irak, Sultan-Bulagh, 25.5.1964 ” (Fig. 16). Actually, the type locality of Ph. irakensis is located in Iran (Hamadan province, 52 km NW Hamadan city, Sol ân Bolâghî,) and well known from materials of the Austrian expedition in Afghanistan and Persia [Kaszab, 1965]. Thus, the type locality is located in Iran. Breuning incorrectly compared Ph. irakensis with Ph. coerulescens (Scopoli, 1793). Examination of the holotype (Fig. 15) shown that Ph. irakensis is the male of Ph. prasina prasina.
