Chrysura ignifrons

Chrysura ignifrons (Brullé, 1833) Chrysis ignifrons Brullé, 1833:375. Holotype ♂ [not ♀]; Greece: Peloponnese (Paris) (austriaca group). Chrysura ignifrons: Rosa, 2020:467 (Khorasan-e Razavi), 473 (fig. 8). Distribution. Iran (Khorasan-e Razavi). West-Paleartcic, from Southern Europe to the Caucasus and Middle East; Central Asia; Northern Africa (Rosa et al., 2013). Remarks. Chrysura ignifrons (Brullé) was listed by Trautmann (1927) for Persia, yet later considered as a doubtful identification by Rosa et al. (2013), because the citation could be also referable both to Chrysura smaragdina (Trautmann, 1926) or Chrysura anatolica (Trautmann, 1926), both known from the Middle East.
