Ischnopoda turfanensis PACE 1998: 404 ff.; nov.syn.

T y p e m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Holotype: " China - Xinjiang, Turfan , 40 m, 11-X- 93, Rougemont / Holotypus Ischnopoda turfanensis m. det. R. Pace 1995 / Ischnopoda turfanensis sp. n., det. R. Pace 1995 / Amarochara turfanensis (Pace) , det. G. PaĞnik 2001 / Amarochara umbrosa (Erichson) View in CoL , det. V. Assing 2010" ( MHNG).

M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Iran: 1, Razavi Khorasan, 20 km NW Torbat-e Heydariyeh, Senobar, 35°26'N, 49°06'E, 1730 m, 28.V.2006, leg. Frisch & Serri (MNHUB).

Amarochara turfanensis ( PACE 1998) was originally attributed to the tachyusine genus Ischnopoda STEPHENS 1835 View in CoL , consequently not compared with any Amarochara species , and subsequently moved to Amarochara View in CoL by PAĝNIK (2006). The original description is based on a single female from " China, Xinjiang, Turfan" ( PACE 1998). An examination of the holotype revealed that it is conspecific with A. umbrosa View in CoL .

Amarochara umbrosa View in CoL is the most widespread species of the genus, its distribution ranging from Western Europe to China, North Korea, and West Siberia ( ASSING 2002 a, SMETANA 2004). The above specimen from Iran represents a new country record.
