Hi, Reinoud and Johan :)
I worked both with Engel (1930) and Lehr (1970). As I couldn't see all features (only managed to rule out
lugubris ,
nubilus and
succinctus), I checked the list for Iran by Ghahari
et al. (2014). In the list, I saw
ornatipes and
manicatus are not listed for Iran, so I assumed the chances are very low. But, just in case, I said:

Anyway, it/they should be in the group lehri/pyrinus/scoparius, in case it is something already recorded for Iran.
Always covering my back ;)
Regarding
ornatipes, the hairs on thorax doesn't seem to match too well...
Anyway, as I couldn't make sure I was seeing correctly, I decided to leave it in the group of species with 'white socks', as Reinoud says (but excluding
ornatipes, with doubts; I know
manicatus well enough to be sure it is not that species ;) )
And yes, lovely pictures of lovely creatures!! :)
