Résumé :	Specimens from several hitherto unknown populations of the genus Ourapteryx were collected from the Kopet Dagh Mountains in north-eastern Iran. Both morphological characters and DNA barcoding confirm that these populations belong to a new species, which is here described as Ourapteryx meinekei sp. n. Rajaei & Kollhorst. Additionally, O. malatyensis syn. nov. is downgraded to synonymy of O. persica. Potential synonymy of O. persica and O. niveiscythes with O. sambucaria is discussed. Diagnostic characters are presented, illustrated and compared with those of the other Ourapteryx species in the Middle East.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:92AD2988-2ACC-4C13-B0F8-B32B1FF6034F
