Anthaxia (Anthaxia) patsyae n. sp. from south-western Iran is herein described and illustrated. It is compared with its most similar species, Anthaxia (Anthaxia) mi­das Kiesenwetter, 1857. The unmistakable pattern of its pronotal sculpture, together with other morphological features, suggest to include this new species in the Anthaxia (Anthaxia) salicis (Fabricius, 1776) “species-group”.
