Remarks.

I regard Sertitympanum aegyptiacum as valid and recognisable species (I examined two specimens collected in a rice storage, Guilan Province, Iran). It may be distinguished from the very similar Sertitympanum nodosum especially by the length of the dorsal shield setae (apparently longer in S. aegyptiacum).
