Eremopeza angusta (Uvarov, 1934) stat. nov.

(Fig. 152)

Tmethis cinerascus cyanipes Werner, 1939: 130 . syn. nov.

Material examined. IRAQ: Khanagin, 26.5.1932, 1♂ (Holotype), 2♂, 2♀ (Paratypes) (leg. B. P. Uvarov) ; Khanagin, R. Diala, 1♀ (leg. P. A. Buxton); Mesopotamia, Kizil Robat, 5.1919, 1♀ (leg. H. D. Peile) ; Khanagin, 3.6.1938, 1♂ (leg. B. L. Sage) (NHMUK) ; Mesopotamia, Abi-Neft, 19.4.1914, 1♀ (leg. Nesterov) (det. as E. gibbera latus) ; IRAN: Kasri-Shirin, 9.5.1962, 1♀ (leg. Shumakov) (ZIN).

Remaks. The type specimens (♂ ♀) of Tmethis cinerascus cyanipes Werner, 1939 have not been found in the Museums during this study. Werner (1939) distinguished it from the other taxa by the light blue hind tibia and the greenish-white hind wings (he consulted to only the paper of Uvarov 1933). These characters agree only with Eremopeza angusta described by Uvarov (1934), which was not compared in Werner (1939).

Uvarov (1934) described this taxon as a subspecies of E. gibbera, but it should be considered a valid species by the shape of body, the very narrow dark band on hind wing and, the absence of apical dark spot, although it has similar hind tibia color with E. gibbera . It is also similar to E. reducta by the body shape and the similar shade of blue of tibia, but the wing coloration and the dark band are very different.
