Anthaxia (Haplanthaxia) parvula n. sp. from Iran is herein described and illustrated. It is compared to its most similar species, Anthaxia (Haplanthaxia) mundula Kiesenwetter 1857. Its peculiar pronotal punctuation, and other morphological features, suggest not to include this new species in any “species-group” so far estabilished.
