R e m a r k s Pseudochrysis marqueti (DU BUYSSON) was listed for Iran by ROSA et al.

(2013, as Pseudospinolia), based on the record of Pseudochrysis chamaleon (SEMENOV, 1967) collected at Sargad ( North Khorasan), Kulku, 8.v.1901, by N. Zarudny. Later ROSA et al. (2017a) revalidated Pseudochrysis chamaleon as a valid species; therefore this specimen from Fars province is actually the first record of Pseudochrysis marqueti for Iran.
