Dorcadion (Cribridorcadion) rezai was recently described by Mikhail Danilevsky from Semiron environs (N31°14′28″ E51°25′10″; سميرم, Semirom County, Isfahan Province, Iran) according to males only [❖]. The species is not similar to any other because of its unique male elytral design. It belongs to D. laeve-group of species because of relatively glabrous, coarsely sculptured pronotum and totally black antennae and legs. Depicted mounted beetles of both sexes were collected by our friend Lech Kruszelnicki 33 km S of Borujen (N31°40’59" E51°14’01"; بروجن, Isfahan Province, Iran) on May 5, 2017. The living specimens were collected by P.Jelínek near Semirom (سميرم,; Semirom County, Isfahan Province, W Iran) on May 13, 2019.
Body length: 12 - 18 mm Life cycle: 1 year Adults in: May Host plant: larvae feed on roots of various grass species Distribution: Iran
