m); syn. n.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. Iran: Hamadan, distr. Malayer, near Nahavand, h=2000–2400

m, 11.5.2008, 2 ♂, leg. E. Rutjan [ MD]; Iran: Lorestan, 4km SW Zagheh , 33°28'31"N ,

48°40'33"E, h= 2080 m, 11.5.2019, 28 ♂, 5 ♀, leg. O. Pak [ MD, OP]; same data, 17 ♂, 3 ♀ ,

leg. I. Plyushch [ IP]; same data, 12 ♂, 2 ♀ , leg. Yu. Skrylnik [ MD, YS]; the majority of available specimens are more or less damaged .

DESCRIPTION. Body length of available males 9.5–12.3 mm; body length of available females 10.8–13.1 mm.

Antennae black with reddish-black 1st joint, often 1st joint nearly black.

Prothorax in fresh specimens densely pubescent; pronotal pubescence in male black with narrow white central line, in females brown (darker or lighter) with wider white central line;

lateral pronotal areas above lateral spines with sparser white pubescence; lateral thoracic spines short, but acute.

Each elytron with 3 white stripes: narrow sutural, wider humeral and wide or narrow lateral stripes above epipleurae (often with irregular margins); lateral elytral stripes in females often brown; elytra in males with blackish-brown pubescence partly replaced with velvety black pubescence, often in form of two dorsal velvety black stripes: subsutural and external dorsal; velvety black stripes often fused anteriorly or about totally fused leaving brownish area near elytral apex only; very rare elytral ground pubescence totally velvety-

black; sometimes external elytral black stripes with single small white dots; humeral white stripes can be with more or less numerous small black spots; elytra in females brown with a pair of very contrast velvety black irregular stripes, never reaching elytral apex, sometimes interrupted, very rare with several small white spots.

Legs very dark, reddish-black, sometimes nearly black.

HABITAT. The species was observed in mountain semidesert with Astragalus sp. , Acantholimon sp. , Artemisia sp. , Cousinia sp. at about 2000–2300 m above the level of the sea.

Imagoes were active during the first decade of May. Many copulating pairs were observed.

DISTRIBUTION. The species is definitely known from four localities in three Iranian provinces, Kurdistan: pass between Baneh and Saquez, about 36°3'15"N, 45°58'59"E ,

h= 2000–2150 m (type locality of D. ursulaheinzi ); Lorestan: pass westwards Nour Abad ,

about 34°2'38"N, 48°19'4"E, h= 2300 m (locality of D. ursulaheinzi ); 4 km south-westwards

Zagheh , 33°28'31"N, 48°40'33"E, h= 2080 m ; Hamadan: environs of Nahavand , 2000–2400 m

( Fig. 21 , 10–13 ).

REMARKS. Dorcadion cingulatum Ganglbauer, 1884 was described without exact de-

signation of the type locality, just from “ Persien ”. Only two females of the type series are preserved now in Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (Danilevsky, 1998), but female morphology is not enough for species determination of closely related species of the group. Fortunately the original description was rather detail and included such an important male character as presence of velvety black dorsal elytral stripes. That character was the base for the description of D. cingulatum m. nigrobivittatum Breuning , 1946 (unavailable name) from Hamadan .

Soon new synonyms ( D. persianum Breuning, 1943 = D. cingulatum m. nigrobivittatum

Breuning, 1946) were accepted by Breuning (1958). Breuning (1946) incorrectly stated the absence of black dorsal elytral stripes in the typical form of the species. That mistake cased a far reaching consequence. True populations of D. cingulatum with velvety black elytral stripes were described recently as D. ursulaheinzi Bernhauer, 2015 on the base of elytral design. More over Bernhauer (2015) noted that his new species was totally identical to D.

cingulatum m. persianum (sensu Breuning, 1962) incorrectly regarding the name persianum as infrasubspecific. Bernhauer (2015) overlooked original description of D. persianum Breuning, 1943 as a species (available name); so, D. persianum Breuning, 1943 = D. ursulaheinzi

Bernhauer, 2015 on the base of its original description; and so, D. cingulatum Ganglbauer,

1884 = D. persianum Breuning, 1943 = D. ursulaheinzi Bernhauer, 2015 , syn. n.
