A taxonomic review of the genus Prosodes Eschscholtz, 1829 of Iran is given. Two new species from the subgenus Meropersina Reitter, 1909 are described, both from West Azerbaijan Province: P. kasatkini sp. n. and P. shokhini sp. n. Three new synonymies are proposed: Prosodes (Dilopersina) mithras Reitter, 1904 = Prosodes (Dilopersina) chorassanica G. Medvedev, 1996, syn. n., Prosodes (Dilopersina) neopersis Semenov, 1910 = Prosodes (Dilopersina) exilis Medvedev, 1996, syn. n., Prosodes (Meropersina) cordicollis Allard, 1883 = P. cordicollis v. vermicularis Reitter, 1909, syn. n. Lectotypes are designated for Prosodes calcarata Reitter, 1893, Prosodes cordicollis v. vermicularis Reitter, 1909, Prosodes dentimana Reitter, 1909, Prosodes jakowlewi Reitter, 1909, Prosodes jakowlewi Semenov, 1894, Prosodes laticauda Reitter, 1896, Prosodes mithras Reitter, 1904, Prosodes vermiculosa Reitter, 1909, and Prosodes consanguinea Allard, 1885. The Iranian species Prosodes neopersis Semenov, 1910 is resurrected from the synonymy of Prosodes vestita Allard, 1880 and recorded from Turkmenistan for the first time. Prosodes vestita Allard, 1880 is raised to species level. The distribution of Prosodes kraatzi Reitter, 1893 is corrected: this species is known only from Eastern Afghanistan (not from Iran). Morphology of the two closely related subgenera, Dilopersina Reitter, 1909 and Meropersina Reitter, 1909 is discussed. A key to 17 Iranian species of the genus Prosodes is given (Prosodes kraatzi with doubtful Iranian occurrence is also added).
本文对伊朗的Prosodes Eschscholtz属（1829年）进行了分类学综述。描述了1909年Reitter亚属Meropersina中的两个新物种，均来自西阿塞拜疆省：P. kasatkini sp. n.和P. shokhini sp. n.。提出了三个新的同物异名：Prosodes (Dilopersina) mithras Reitter，1904 = Prosodes (Dilopersina) chorassanica G. Medvedev，1996，同物异名n.；Prosodes (Dilopersina) neopersis Semenov，1910 = Prosodes (Dilopersina) exilis Medvedev，1996，同物异名n.；Prosodes (Meropersina) cordicollis Allard，1883 = P. cordicollis v. vermicularis Reitter，1909，同物异名n.。指定了Prosodes calcarata Reitter，1893、Prosodes cordicollis v. vermicularis Reitter，1909、Prosodes dentimana Reitter，1909、Prosodes jakowlewi Reitter，1909、Prosodes jakowlewi Semenov，1894、Prosodes laticauda Reitter，1896、Prosodes mithras Reitter，1904、Prosodes vermiculosa Reitter，1909和Prosodes consanguinea Allard，1885的选模标本。伊朗物种Prosodes neopersis Semenov，1910从Prosodes vestita Allard，1880的同物异名中恢复，并首次在土库曼斯坦有记录。Prosodes vestita Allard，1880被提升到物种级别。纠正了Prosodes kraatzi Reitter，1893的分布：该物种仅已知于阿富汗东部（而非伊朗）。讨论了1909年Reitter的两个近缘亚属Dilopersina和Meropersina的形态。给出了Prosodes属17个伊朗物种的检索表（还添加了伊朗分布存疑的Prosodes kraatzi）。
