Recently described from Iran (Hormozgan Province) by Azadbakhsh & Kirschenhofer (2018b) species Brachinus mansorii View in CoL not was compared with material of B. atripensis View in CoL (as atripennis in article of Azadbakhsh & Kirschenhofer, 2018b), all comparison with the mentioned species was based on vague description and bad drawing of aedeagus from Iablokoff-Khnzorian (1973). Study of material deposited in DUBC, revealed that all distinctive features indicated for separate B. atripensis View in CoL and B. mansorii View in CoL are within the range of variability of the species.
