Brachycoleus decolor Reuter, 1887

Hosseini, R., 2016, A Review On The Genus Brachycoleus (Hemiptera, Miridae) With Identification Key To The Species Found In Iran, Vestnik Zoologii 50 (2), pp. 105-110 : 109

* Brachycoleus decolor Reuter, 1887

Sakenin et al.(2010) claimed that Brachycoleus decolor along with133 other species were collected from west of Iran, surprisingly in a completely similar work Samin et al. (2011) reported and published mostly same species in a vanity fake journal named "Calodema" ( Tin et al., 2014). Also no depository has been stated in both papers for the collected and identified specimens. Therefore the validity of these reports is in doubt as it is unclear if vouchers were deposited for further examination.

I thank Dr. Rauno E. Linnavuori (Saukkokuja 10, FIN-2122 Raisio, Finland) for confirmation of the species identification and providing materials for insect collection at the Natural History Museum of University of Guilan, used in this study.
