Remarks.

Schütt (1973) classified this species in the genus Gangetia and introduced the new subgenus Iranothyra Schütt, 1973. Mansoorian (1994) reported Gangetia uzielliana with some doubts. However, his species clearly differs from the topotype of Gangetia uzielliana illustrated by Schütt (1973). Most probably, the species recorded by Mansoorian (1994) under this name represents an undescribed new species ( Glöer and Pešić 2009).

Distribution.
