Treatment

Distribution in Iran. Generic records: Iran ( Wittmer 1972; Delkeskamp 1977; Kazantsev & Brancucci 2007).

Remarks. Presently thought as endemic to Iran, but possibly also present in Azerbaijan. The nominotypical subspecies Malthodes ordubadensis ordubadensis Reitter (1889) was described from Araxesthal near Ordubad ( Azerbaijan), close to Iranian border ( Wittmer 1992; Koçak & Kemal 2015) and a future finding in this territory cannot be excluded.
