Description
Trapelus persicus (Blanford, 1881)
SYNTYPES. BMNH 1946.8.11.30 (ex. BMNH 79.8.15.43), BMNH 1946.8.11.39-42 (ex. BMNH 79.8.15.39-42).
TYPE LOCALITY. Dehbid and Kazerun, Fars Prov., Iran.
DISTRIBUTION. Jordan, Syria, Iraq, NE Saudi Arabia, SW Iran.
DISTRIBUTION IN IRAN. Fig. 21. Most of the western provinces in the Mesopotamian Plain and along the Zagros range up to western Kerman and Hormozgan Prov.
HABITAT. Sandy areas, on sand dune foothills and near shrubs where they seek refuge (Anderson 1999).
REMARKS. Rastegar-Pouyani (2000) synonymized T. persicus with T. ruderatus, however this change was rejected by Ananjeva et al. (2013). The distribution of T. persicus overlaps partially with T. ruderatus in Bushehr, Fars, Esfahan, and Ilam Prov. (Fathinia & Rastegar-Pouyani 2011).
