NOTES. This rare species was known only from some localities: Iran, Lorestan (the type locality) and Azerbaijan, Talysh [ Miroshnikov, 2009], a host plant was unknown previously. We collected some specimens of Ph. prasina in Hamedan and Azerbaijan-e-Qarbi Provinces of Iran. All our beetles were collect on Nonea anchusoides Boiss. et Buhse. Ph. irakensis Breuning, 1967 was described by a single specimen from ´´ Irak, Sultan-Balagh, 25.5.1963 ´´ [ Breuning, 1967]. Label data of the holotype is “ Irak, Sultan-Bulagh, 25.5.1964 ” ( Fig. 16 View Figs 15–16 ). Actually, the type locality of Ph.irakensis is located in Iran (Hamadan province, 52 km NW Hamadan city, Sol ân Bolâghî,) and well known from materials of the Austrian expedition in Afghanistan and Persia [ Kaszab, 1965]. Thus, the type locality is located in Iran.
Breuning incorrectly compared Ph. irakensis with Ph. coerulescens (Scopoli, 1793) . Examination of the holotype ( Fig. 15 View Figs 15–16 ) shown that Ph. irakensis is the male of Ph. prasina prasina . Thus, the following new synonymy is proposed: Ph. prasina Reitter, 1911 = Ph. irakensis Breuning, 1967 , syn.n.
