Ichnogasteroides picteti subsp. tenuis

Ichnogasteroides picteti tenuis (Morawitz, 1888) Eumenes tenuis Morawitz, 1888: 261, ♂ (type locality: “in territorio transcaspico … bei Kukulàbi ” [Turkmenistan]). Material examined. AZERBAIJAN. Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic: Babek, Payiz, 39°26ʹ06ʹʹN, 45°22ʹ56ʹʹE, 1230 m, 25. VI.2024, 3 ♂, leg. M. Proshchalykin, M. Maharramov [CAFK]. Distribution. *Azerbaijan (?main territory, Nakhchivan AR), Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia. Remarks. The taxonomic status of this subspecies should be revised to ascertain whether it is a synonym of Ichnogasteroides picteti picteti (de Saussure, 1852), distributed in France and Spain (Selis 2023), or a distinct species. Aliyev et al. (2019) reported Ichnogasteroides sp. from Agdash and Nakhchivan; that record probably referred to I. picteti tenuis.
