Description

A lectotype of Agapanthia persica Semenov, 1893 is designated and figured. A. dahli persica Sem. is redescribed on the base of the lectotype and a series of available specimens from Mazandaran. Eastern and Central Mazandaran is proposed to be accepted as a type locality of the taxon. Agapanthia dahli golestanica ssp. n. is described from near Minudasht (Golestan province of Iran). It is close to A. dahli persica Sem. but elytra look much lighter because of denser yellow pubescence. A. dahli lenkorana ssp. n. is described from Talysh area of Azerbaijan. It is close to A. d. rubenyani Lazarev, 2013 and A. dahli ismailovae Lazarev, 2013, but smaller and much darker.
