Abstract
Recent collections of pseudoscorpions resulted in a first record and a new species from Iran. Olpium omanense Mahnert, 1991 originally described from Oman is recorded for the first time from Iran. Three congeneric species with similar morphometric characters and trichobothrial patterns, Olpium intermedium Beier, 1959, O. lindbergi Beier, 1959 and O. omanense can be separated by the setal numbers on the posterior margin of carapace and tergite I. Also, specimens reported as Olpium lindbergi Beier, 1951 from Pakistan were probably misidentified and belong to O. omanense. The new species Cardiolpium bisetosum sp. nov. is described based on males from Markazi province, western Iran. Morphometric data given in comparison to related species.
Bei Pseudoskorpion-Erfassungen im Iran wurden ein Erstnachweis und eine neue Art gefunden. Olpium omanense Mahnert, 1991 wurde ursprünglich aus dem Oman beschrieben und kann nun zum ersten Mal im Iran nachgewiesen werden. Drei eng verwandte Arten mit ähnlichen morphometrischen Eigenschaften und Trichobothrien-Mustern, Olpium intermedium Beier, 1959, O. lindbergi Beier, 1959 und O. omanense können anhand der Anzahl der Setae am posterioren Rand des Carapax und am Tergit I unterschieden werden. Bei den Nachweisen von Olpium lindbergi Beier, 1951 aus Pakistan handelt es sich um Fehlbestimmungen – alle Individuen gehören zu O. omanense. Eine neue Art Cardiolpium bisetosum sp. nov. wird nach Männchen aus der Markazi-Provinz im Westen Irans beschrieben. Vergleichende morphometrische Daten zu verwandten Arten werden präsentiert.
