Ebner, as Tmethis festivus ) ( NMW) ; Nakhichevan, Djulfi , 27.5.1974, 1♀ (leg. Volkovich) ( ZIN) ; [Nakhichevan] , Ordubad, 1♂, 1♀ (det. Br. v.W.) ( NHMUK) ; IRAN: N.W. Persien, Khoi [ Khoy ], 1904, 2♂, 1♀ (leg. Zugmayer) (det. Uvarov as Tmethis saussurei Uv. !) ( NMW) .

Remarks. Uvarov (1943: 44) selected one specimen as a type which is deemed a lectotype designation (ICZN, Article 74).

It was described by Bolívar in Saussure (1884). Saussure described his own new species in the same paper with “n.” such as Eremobia cyanipennis ( Saussure 1884: 227) . Moreover, Hollier (2012) did not list this species, among those described by Saussure, even if no specimen was housed in the MHNG. Hollier also concluded independently that Bolívar is the author of this taxon (John Hollier, pers. comm.).

The specimens collected from Khoy and one female from Ordubad have yellowish tibia, probably because of the treatment with alcohol.
