Tettigometra pseudovitellina Mitjaev, 1971: 75

T. pseudovitellina Mitjaev: Dlabola (1981), Mozaffarian & Wilson (2011), Moosavi Mahvelati & Modarres Awal (2011), Mozaffarian (2014).

Material examined. Azarbayejan-e gharbi Province: maku, 19-20.vi.1970, 2 specimens (NMPC); Tehran province: Tehran, Evin, 16.viii.1971, leg. Sabzevari, 1 specimen (MNHN). The species was described by Mitjaev (1971) very briefly in the body of an identification key with three figures. Two specimens were borrowed from NMHN and NMPC for this study and both of them were already identified by Dlabola. However, there appear to be some differences between those specimens and the illustrations in the original description. Hence, the identification of many similar specimens in HMIM and NMWC needs to be confirmed by comparing with the type specimen of T. pesudovitellina .

Distribution and habitat. Kazakhstan (Nast 1972). In dry fields and semi-deserts with Alhagi (Dlabola 1981) . Recorded distribution in Iran is in the north of the country, on southern slopes of Alborz Mountain (Fig. 34). The long distance between the Iranian records and also with type locality in central Asia, highlights the necessity of the revision of the taxa.
