In the present study, Hemilepistus elongatus Budde-Lund, 1885 is reported from Iran for the first time, redescribed and its diagnostic characters are figured. This species reveals a high variability in morphological characters. The division of the species at the subspecific level can not be supported anymore. This species differs from other species of the genus by the unique shape of male pleopod-endopodite I.
在本研究中,1885年由布德-伦德描述的长半足栉鼠首次在伊朗被报道,对其进行了重新描述并绘制了其鉴别特征。该物种在形态特征上表现出高度变异性。不再支持在亚种水平上对该物种进行划分。该物种与该属的其他物种的区别在于雄性第一腹肢内肢的独特形状。
