Remarks. Three subspecies, D. arenicola arenicola (Staudinger, 1879) , D. arenicola iranica ( Austaut, 1897) and D. arenicola transcaucasicus ( Zukowsky, 1936) have hitertho been described for D. arenicola and these all are distributed in Iran. The examination of a huge number of specimens belonging to these subspecies from different localities, indicated no variation in genital structures. However, some external morphological variations were observed in all studied materials, which are here considered as intraspecific variations. The subspecies described from Transcaucasia and Southern Iran did not have any significant differences from the nominal subspecies. Therefore, D. arenicola iranica and D. arenicola transcaucasicus are here synonymized with D. arenicola arenicola .
