looks like Hemipenthes velutina but Iran has two closely related species: Hemipenthes exoprosopoides and Hemipenthes robusta Hemipenthes exoprosopoides The white scale band on t4 is supposed to be narrowly interrupted, so i think that we can exclude this species Hemipenthes robusta The broad white scale band on t4 and bright yellow collar indicates that Hemipenthes robusta is a possibility. I cannot recommend a species without closer inspection. Maybe someone else has a better opinion. John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |
