03A6512E7F317A46FF3FE791A6FDFC17.taxon	discussion	Comment: The occurrence of this species in Iran must be confirmed and the identification should be checked. This species is known from neighbouring Kazakhstan so that its occurrence in North or North east of Iran is possible.	en	Azadbakhsh, Saeed, Nozari, Jamasb (2015): Checklist of the Iranian Ground Beetles (Coleoptera; Carabidae).

03A6512E7F3E7A4FFF3FE269A7F0F9DA.taxon	discussion	Comment: Several dozen specimens (not concretely cited here) of this largely distributed species have been recently studied from Provinces East Azarbaijan, Gilan, Fars, Golestan, Hormozgan, Kerman, Sistan va Baluchestan, Razavi Khorasan, Qazvin, North Khorasan, West Azarbaijan, etc. It is not possible to clearly assign some of these specimens to appropriate subspecies. Validity of ssp. persicus must be checked but very probably it is only a form of the nominotypical subspecies, without taxonomic value. Samin et al. (2011) cited S. terricola pacificus Bates, 1873 from Bandar-Torkman (Prov. of Golestan). This subspecies is known only from SE Asia and the occurrence in Iran is not expectable so that this citation very probably belongs to S. terricola terricola Bonelli, 1813 or S. terricola persicus Chaudoir, 1842. Scarites (Parallelomorphus) terricola terricola Bonelli, 1813 Studied material: (ZMTU): Kordak River, 2008 (Prov. of Qazvin), NowShahr, 2010 (Prov. of Mazandaran) and Bandar-e Anzali, 2012 (Prov. of Gilan). Citations: Farsistan region (prov. of Fars; Redtenfoacher, 1848); Kuh-rang, 2400 m (Prov. of Esfahan; Mandl, 1963); Without exact locality (Balkenohl, 2003).

03A6512E7F3C7A4CFF3FE4C9A6E1FA4B.taxon	discussion	Comment: The designation of the above cited specimens should be checked. All studied Iranian Coryza specimens are very similar (or even identical) to Coryza semirubra Andrewes, 1926.	en	Azadbakhsh, Saeed, Nozari, Jamasb (2015): Checklist of the Iranian Ground Beetles (Coleoptera; Carabidae).

03A6512E7F3D7A70FF3FE33AA72AF8AB.taxon	discussion	Comment: Fedorenko (1996) cited the species from Caspian sea on / near Iranian borders, and this very rare species probably occurs in Iran as well. Dyschiriodes (Chiridysus) rufimanus (Fleischer, 1898) Citations: Without exact locality (Fedorenko, 1996); Without exact locality (Balkenohl, 2003). Comment: Hieke & Wrase (1988) mentioned D. strumosus (Erichson, 1837) from Iran but these data possibly belong to D. rufimanus because the occurrence of D. strumosus in Iran is unlikely.	en	Azadbakhsh, Saeed, Nozari, Jamasb (2015): Checklist of the Iranian Ground Beetles (Coleoptera; Carabidae).

03A6512E7F3D7A70FF3FE33AA72AF8AB.taxon	discussion	Comment: All Iranian quotations of D. aeneus belong very probably only to this ssp. not to D. eneus (Dejean, 1825).	en	Azadbakhsh, Saeed, Nozari, Jamasb (2015): Checklist of the Iranian Ground Beetles (Coleoptera; Carabidae).
