Remarks.

Described from the Alam-Kuh region, the melanistic form ( Zygaena speciosa speciosa ) is currently known from seven localities between Kuh-e Demavand in the east and Alam Kuh in the west, while non-melanistic populations were unknown until now and are here recorded for the first time from three localities located between Mo’allem Kalayeh (Qazvin NE.) and Kuh-e Samamus.
