R e m a r k s Pseudochrysis marqueti (DU BUYSSON) was listed for Iran by ROSA et al.

(2013, as Pseudospinolia), based on the record of Pseudochrysis chamaleon (SEMENOV, 1967) collected at Sargad (North Khorasan), Kulku, 8.v.1901, by N. Zarudny. Later ROSA et al. (2017a) revalidated Pseudochrysis chamaleon as a valid species; therefore this specimen from Fars province is actually the first record of Pseudochrysis marqueti for Iran.
