Euboeus (Pelorinus) huedepohli: Nabozhenko et al., 2017 a: 495 (transferred from the nominotypical subgenus to Pelorinus ).

Type material (studied). Holotype, ♂ ( NMB): “ Persia Elburs-Gebg. Hüdepohl leg.”, “Lashgarak-Tal 12-4-63 ”, “ Holotypus Probaticus huedepohli n. sp. det H. Kulzer 1963” ( Fig. 8C ) . Paratype, ♂ ( HNHM) with the same geographic label and “ Paratypus 1964 Probaticus huedepohli Külzer ”, “ PARATYPUS Probaticus huedepohli n. sp. det. H. Kulzer 1963”, “ Probaticus huedepohli Kulz. Dr. Kaszab det. 1983” .

Material. 1♂ ( ZIN): Iran, Demavend , 24.v.1894 (leg. Glazunov) ; 1♂ ( ZIN): Iran, 16 km NE Tehran , foothills of Elburs, 12.v.1955 (leg. D. Shteinberg) ; 2♂ ( HNHM): Iran, Mazandaran Prov., Demavend , 3000 m, 3.v.2000 (leg. K. Gaskó) ; 3♂, 3♀ ( HNHM): Iran, Tehran / Mazandaran provinces, Polour—Abali , 2100–2800 m, 17.v.1970 (leg. Wittmer. V. Bothmer) ; 2♂, 5♀ ( HNHM): Iran, Tehran Prov. [Mazandaran Prov.], Elburz Mts., 10 km W Reine [Rineh], Kuh-e Demavend , 35°53ʹ22ʺN, 52°02ʹ24ʺE, 14.v.1998 (Gy. Fábian, K. Székely) ; 1♀, Iran, Mazandaran Prov., Kühha-ye Alborz, Küh-e Damavand , 3500 m, 30.vi.–2.vii.2006 (leg. G. Rozner) ; 1♀ ( HNHM): “ Iran, prov. Khorasan, Qudjan (Qućan), 3000 m / Mt. Kopet Dag 1999. V.90 leg.: Gaskó K. ” ; 3♂, 3♀ ( SMS): Iran, Mazandaran Prov., Alborz Mts., Damavand Mt., Reyneh [Rineh], 35°52.412ʹ N, 52°06.096ʹ, 2841 m, 14.v.2008, from beneath stone (leg. T. Hácz, K. Székely, K. Vig) ;

Distribution. Iran (Demavend Mt. from ~ 2800 to 3500 m). I didn’t include Razavi Khorasan Province in the distribution based on the strange locality “Quchan, Kopet Dag, 3000 m ”, because the Iranian part of Kopet Dag mountains does not exceed 2000 m, and only one mount Kuh-e Patu (not Kopet Dag ridge) with the elevation near 3000 m is located 50 km west of Quchan. This mountain belongs to another mountain system (Turkmen-Khorasan mountains) than Demavend and and labelling raises doubts.
