Iranosphodrus new subgenus, apparently close to Pristonychus Dejean, 1828, is mainly characterised within the genus Laemostenus by the peculiar combination of several features, in particular theabsence of both anterior supraorbital setae of the head and the basolateralsetae of the pronotum, the toothed mesosternum in front of the mesocoxae, the presence of a prominent tooth on the anterior margin of the ventral side of the profemora, and the markedly curved mesotibiae in males. L.(I.) rudichae new species, besides the character state distinctive at subgeneric rank, is further characterized by the elongate, parallel sided, depigmented body, reduced eyes, and the structure of the aedeagus. The systematic position of the new taxon is discussedOpisan in prikazan je Laemostenus (Iranosphodrus subgen. nov.) rudichae sp. nov. iz okolice kraja Rayen (Iran, provinca Kerman). Primerjan je s sorodnimi podrodovi in vrstami rodu Laemostenus Bonelli, 1810 (v najširšem smislu). Novipodrod Iranosphodrus je očitno blizu podrodu Pristonychus Dejean, 1828, inje v okviru rodu Laemostenus prepoznaven po svojskem spoju več značilnosti, posebno po odsotnosti obeh prednjih supraorbitalnih ščetin na glavi in bazolateralnih ščetin na pronotumu, zobatem mezosternumu pred srednjimi kolki,prisotnosti izrazitega zoba na prednjem robu trebušne strani prednjih stegen in opazno ukrivljenih srednjih golenih pri samcih. Poleg znakov, določajočih podrodovni položaj, so za novo vrsto značilni še podolgovato, depigmentirano telo z vzporednimi stranicami, zmanjšane oči in zgradba edeagusa.
