Abstract
Three new species of Anthaxia Eschscholtz, 1829 endemic to Iran, Anthaxia (Anthaxia) magnanii n. sp., Anthaxia (Haplanthaxia) mannaea n. sp. and Anthaxia (Cratomerus) meda n. sp., along with the creation of the Anthaxia parvula species-group, are proposed and illustrated. The new taxa are compared to their most similar species and data about their distribution, bionomy and taxonomic position are given, together with a short definition of the new species-group.
