Tribe
Anisodactylini Lacordaire, 1854
Note:
The species
Scybalicus oblongiusculus
(Dejean, 1829)
, was cited from Bojnourd (Prov. of North Khorasan), by Ghahari & Kesdek (2012), but according to
Kataev & Wrase (2003)
it is distributed in the West Palearctic region:
Algeria
,
Great Britain
,
Italy
,
Malta
,
Spain
and
Tunisia
. Therefore, its citation from
Iran
is possibly based on wrongly identified specimens. The species should be removed from Iranian fauna.
