Coenagrion vanbrinki spec. nov. und C. persicum spec. nov. aus Vorderasien (Zygoptera: Coenagrionidae)

C. vanbrinki sp.n. is described and illustrated from 10 <J, 5 9 and 10 larvae, collected in Iran and E Turkey (holotype S: Iran, Lorestan prov., Dow Rud, 33"28’N 49°05’E; 31-V-1937; deposited in ZMUC, Copenhagen). It is very closely related to C. ornatum (Sei.), but differs from the latter mainly by structural differences in the c? cerci, the 9 pronotum and pterothoracic carinal complex, and in the number of larval premental setae. The new sp. ranges from middle and N Iran, Armenia (?) across N Iraq and Levant to E Turkey. — C. persicum sp.n. is described and illustrated from 1 6 and 1 larva (holotype 6; Iran, Istgah-e-Ezna, 33°72’N 49°30’E; 4-VI-I937; deposited in ZMUC, Copenhagen). It is very closely related to C. pulchellum (Vander L.), but differs from the latter by structural differences in the 6 cerci and larval caudal lamellae. — The palearctic puella group of the genus Coenagrion is discussed, viz. puella (L.) [with ssp. kocheri (Schmidt)], ponticum (Bartenef), intermedium Lohmann, syriacum (Morton), pulchellum (Vander L.) [with sspp. interruptum (Charp.) and saisanicum (Belyshev)], persicum sp.n., holdereri (Forster), ornatum (Sel.) and vanbrinki sp.n. — 2 faunislic notes are added:(I) C. ponticum ranging from the Caucasian Black Sea coast in the N, across the whole of E Turkey (inch Taurus Mts.) up to Syria. – (2) C, pulchellum represented by 2 sspp. in Turkey, viz. C. p. pulchellum and C. p. saisanicum.
