The Iranian taxa of the tribe Scopulini are taxonomically revised. The systematic positions of the genera Cinglis Guene, 1858, Glossotrophia Prout, 1913, Pseudocinglis Hausmann, 1994 and Scopuloides Hausmann, 1994, with uncertain validity and/or position within the tribe Scopulini Duponchel, 1845 (Lepidoptera: Sterrhinae), are further elucidated by use of one mitochondrial and up to nine protein-coding nuclear gene regions. Available type specimens of the described species and more than 2,600 additional specimens were morphologically investigated. In addition, over 400 genitalia preparations were made and examined together with distribution data and DNA barcodes. As a result of the multi-gene analysis, the genera Cinglis stat. rev. and Scopuloides stat. rev. are re-validated at the genus level. The genus Pseudocinglis syn. nov. is regarded as a junior synonym of the genus Cinglis stat. rev. and Glossotrophia syn. nov. is regarded as a junior synonym of the genus Scopula. Cinglis eurata (Prout, 1913) comb. nov. and Cinglis benigna (Brandt, 1941) comb. nov. are combined with the genus Cinglis. Additionally, Cinglis benigna amseli (Wiltshire, 1967) syn. nov. is regarded as a synonym of C. benigna. Scopula adulteraria (Erschov, 1874) stat. nov. is raised from subspecies to species rank; Scopula iranaria Bytinski-Salz & Brandt, 1937 syn. nov. is synonymized with S. flaccidaria (Zeller, 1852); S. transcaspica taftanica Brandt, 1941 syn. nov. is synonymized with S. transcaspica Prout, 1935; S. diffinaria asiatica (Brandt, 1938) syn. nov. is synonymized with S. diffinaria (Prout, 1913) and Glossotrophia bullata Vojnits, 1986 syn. nov. is synonymized with Scopula sacraria ariana (Ebert, 1965). The female genitalia of Scopula lactarioides Brandt, 1941 are described and illustrated for the first time. In total, the presence of 33 species of Scopulini in Iran is confirmed. Wing patterns, male and female genitalia and diagnostic characters of most Iranian Scopulini species are depicted and their distribution ranges are mapped.
伊朗 scopulini 部落的分类群进行了分类修订。使用一个线粒体和多达九个蛋白质编码核基因区域，进一步阐明了 Cinglis Guene, 1858、Glossotrophia Prout, 1913、Pseudocinglis Hausmann, 1994 和 Scopuloides Hausmann, 1994 属的有效性和/或在 scopulini 部落（鳞翅目：sterrhinae）中的位置不确定的分类地位。对描述的物种的可用模式标本和 2600 多个附加标本进行了形态学研究。此外，制作了 400 多个生殖器标本，并与分布数据和 DNA 条码一起进行了检查。由于多基因分析，Cinglis stat. rev. 和 Scopuloides stat. rev. 两个属被重新确认为属级别的有效分类群。Pseudocinglis syn. nov. 被视为 Cinglis stat. rev. 的一个下属同义词，Glossotrophia syn. nov. 被视为 Scopula 的一个下属同义词。Cinglis eurata (Prout, 1913) comb. nov. 和 Cinglis benigna (Brandt, 1941) comb. nov. 与 Cinglis 属合并。此外，Cinglis benigna amseli (Wiltshire, 1967) syn. nov. 被视为 C. benigna 的同义词。Scopula adulteraria (Erschov, 1874) stat. nov. 从亚种提升到种级；Scopula iranaria Bytinski-Salz & Brandt, 1937 syn. nov. 与 S. flaccidaria (Zeller, 1852) 同义；S. transcaspica taftanica Brandt, 1941 syn. nov. 与 S. transcaspica Prout, 1935 同义；S. diffinaria asiatica (Brandt, 1938) syn. nov. 与 S. diffinaria (Prout, 1913) 同义，Glossotrophia bullata Vojnits, 1986 syn. nov. 与 Scopula sacraria ariana (Ebert, 1965) 同义。首次描述并图示了 Scopula lactarioides Brandt, 1941 的雌性生殖器。总共确认了 33 种 scopulini 物种在伊朗的存在。描绘了大多数伊朗 scopulini 物种的翅膀模式、雄性和雌性生殖器以及诊断特征，并绘制了它们的分布范围。
