Abstract: Callophrys paulae kolak Higgins, 1965 (Fig. 1, 3) Material: 1 male, 1 female, Iraq, Erbil Governorate, Choman District, Halgurd Mountain, 36°44’50.3”N 44°50’48.8”E, 3077 m, 28.VI.2024, S.H. Ahmed & S.I. Majeed leg. General distribution: Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan (Krupitsky et al. 2015). Diagnosis. Externally, this species can be easily distinguished from other Callophrys species of the region in question by the small androconial spot, forewing with straight outer margin, slightly serrated hindwing with poorly developed anal lobe and usually well-developed white postdiscal row of spots on the both wing undersides (Krupitsky et al. 2015). Specimens from Iraq do not externally differ from those known from Hakkari Province (Turkey) and the Iranian Zagros (Fig. 2).
