Spermophagus caricus Decelle, 1982
Distribution in Iran. Tehran ( Borowiec 1985a), Yazd ( Abbaszadeh et al. 2016).
General distribution. Greece (Rhodes), Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey.
Host records. Convolvulus leiocalycinus Boiss. (Convolvulaceae) ( Abbaszadeh 2012; Abbaszadeh et al. 2016).
Comments. Anton (1998) synonymized this taxon with Spermophagus turanicus (Lukjanovitch & Ter- Minassian 1957) while Savitsky (2000) suggested that S. caricus and S. turanicus are independent taxa. Holotype of S. turanicus is a female in bad condition (vestiture destroyed) but Savitsky (2000) noted some other morphological differences thus Anton (2010) in the catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera again treated this taxon as good species.
