Head. Fastigium of vertex equal or slightly wider than half of scapus. Thorax. Pronotum short, slightly constricted in the middle, median sulcus located after the middle, cylindrical in prozona and somewhat raised in metazona, caudal margin of the disc concave, medial carina occurs as a yellowish line, disk bordered by large light lines slightly divergent in anterior and posterior margins constituting roughly as “) (“ shape; paranotal margin almost straight along prozona and oblique along metazona. Tegmina short, extending beyond the posterior margin of pronotum, stridulatory vein not totally covered by pronotum; stridulatory file with ca. 55 teeth. Male terminalia. Cercus cylindrical, gradually tapering toward apex, curvature is more prominent apically, incurved roughly as L-shaped, with a flattened apex and with 4–5 distinguishable denticles on external margin. Subgenital plate wider than long, with a wide roughly quadrangular median processes apically, distal margin is quadrangularly concave.</p><p>Song.</p><p>Male song consists of short (9–14 ms) syllables of 10–13 impulses that are usually followed by one to four after-clicks, the complex syllable lasting 27–34 ms at ca. 28 ° C. The peak frequency spectrum lies between 35 and 50 kHz. Male song is exemplified in Figure 14, and song measurements are provided in Table 3.</p><p>Female.</p><p>Similar to males in general. Pronotum slightly raised in metazona, tegmina well visible beyond the hind margin of pronotum. Subgenital plate triangular, ovipositor typical of the group.</p><p>Coloration.</p><p>General coloration black with a creamish pattern; vertex black or with black dots on a creamish brown background, antennae black with regular white rings as in the group. Disc of pronotum with black patterns or spots on a creamish brown background at the beginning of prozona, black in the middle and reddish brown in metazona; paranota with black spots on a creamish brown background; tegmina with typical black / light (marble or brown) pattern; all legs are black dorsally. Abdominal terga black in front 1 / 2 and light in the remaining part, the black bands laterally extend to subsequent tergum and light bands remain in the middle showing a population-specific pattern.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>The new species,  P. anisozonatus sp. nov., shows sister group relationship with  P. isozonatus, and each of them was consistently suggested as a distinct species by all species delimitation tests. The pair of  P. isozonatus /  P. anisozonatus sp. nov. can easily be distinguished by traditionally used phenotypic characters (Table 3 and Fig. 13). The typical cercus with flattened apex and prominent denticles located externally (no denticle on the internal side of apex), and male subgenital plate wider than long, are the most prominent characters distinguishing  P. anisozonatus sp. nov. from  P. isozonatus . Apart from the cercus and subgenital plate of the male,  P. anisozonatus sp. nov. can be distinguished from  P. isozonatus also by its male song – the syllable duration being 30.57 (27–34) ms in the first, while 13.6 (10–19) ms (Konya-Taşkent) or 6.46 (2–8) ms (Niğde-Çamardı) in the second (Table 3). Along with these phenotypic characters, there are six mutations, detected in the mitochondrial concatenated matrix by applying a PAUP analysis (File S 1), specific to the ancestral node of  P. anisozonatus sp. nov., which we considered as a diagnostic character of this species; 1730 (C → T), 1799 (A → G), 1917 (A → C), 1928 (T → C), 2118 (C → T), 2223 (C → T).</p><p>Derivatio nominis.</p><p>The name of the new species is constituted to express its close relation, but the clear distinction, from  P. isozonatus .</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Currently, the new species,  P. anisozonatus sp. nov., is known only from the type locality, adjacent to that of  P. isozonatus, but separated by a lowland valley. Although the samples constituting the type specimens of the new species were reported as  P. isozonatus and these two species show sister group relationship, signs from genetic data suggest that they are two independent evolutionary and reproductive units and there are considerable phenotypic differences, especially in male calling songs, supporting their distinctiveness.</p><p>Material examined.</p><p>See population 17 in Table 1.

Poecilimon (Poecilimon) boncukdagensis Uluar, Chobanov &amp; Çıplak sp. nov.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Holotype, male. Head. Fastigium of vertex equal or slightly narrower than half of scapus. Thorax. Pronotum short, slightly constricted in the middle, median sulcus located after the middle, cylindrical in prozona and distinctly raised in metazona, caudal margin of the disc concave, median carina occurs as a weak yellowish line; paranotal margin almost straight along prozona and oblique along metazona. Tegmina short, extending beyond the posterior margin of pronotum and reach to half of the second abdominal tergite; stridulatory vein almost totally covered by pronotum; stridulatory file with ca. 60 teeth. Male terminalia. Cercus cylindrical, gradually tapering toward apex, prominently incurved at apical half, incurved roughly as L-shaped, with a cylindrical distal branch almost as long as proximal branch and with 4–5 distinguishable denticles on external margin of distal branch and 3–4 denticles along the tip. Subgenital plate as wide as or slightly wider than long, with a quadrangularly concave caudal margin. Song. Male song consists of 11.3 (9–16) syllable duration (ms) and 14.65 (10–21) impulse number per syllable with occasional after-clicks following the main syllable at 20–30 ms. The peak frequency spectrum lies between 35 and 50 kHz. Thus, it is very similar to the song of  P. denizliensis (see under the latter). Male song is exemplified in Figure 9 and song measurements are provided in Table 3. — Female. Similar to male in general. Pronotum slightly raised in metazona, tegmina well visible beyond hind margin of pronotum. Coloration. General coloration black with a creamish pattern; vertex black or with black dots on a creamish brown background, antennae black with regular white rings as in the group. Thorax. Disc of pronotum with black patterns or spots on a creamish brown background at the beginning of prozona, black in the middle and reddish brown in metazona; ventral half of the paranota creamish and dorsal half with black pattern; tegmina with typical black / light (marble or yellow) pattern; all legs are black dorsally. Abdomen. Abdominal terga black in front 3 / 4 and light in the remaining part, the black bands do not extend to subsequent tergum laterally. Female terminalia. Subgenital plate triangular, ovipositor typical of the group.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>The new species,  P. boncukdagensis sp. nov., shows sister group relationships with  P. ciplaki +  P. datca .  P. boncukdagensis sp. nov. was suggested as a separate identical species by bPTP and GMYC while was placed within  P ciplaki by ASAP delimitation tests. However, the new species and  P. ciplaki well differ from each other by male cercus. Cercus is weakly incurved, with rounded apex, denticles constitute a single row along the tip in  P. ciplaki, while strongly incurved, L-shaped and with truncate apex, denticles constituting two lines, one along the tip and the other along external margin in  P. boncukdagensis . Additionally, male subgenital plate is as wide as long or slightly wider than long in the new species, while it is longer than wide in  P. ciplaki . The new species and  P. datca are not monophyletic and no delimitation test suggested it belongs within  P. datca, but the new species is rather similar to  P. datca montana especially by the male cercus. The new species differs by the distal branch of cercus as long as proximal branch (longer than the half-length of the proximal branch), while it is at most as long as the half-length of the proximal branch in  P. datca datca . Additionally, the distal branch of cercus is black in the new species while dark but not black in  P. datca . Apart from the male cercus,  P. datca and  P. boncukdagensis sp. nov. can also be distinguished by the male calling song; a syllable consists of 1–4 and 10–21 impulses in the first and second species respectively (Table 3). Along with these phenotypic characters, there are 8 mutations, detected in the concatenated matrix of COI + ND 2 + VAL by applying a PAUP analysis (File S 1), specific to the ancestral node of  P. boncukdagensis sp. nov., which we considered further diagnostic characters of the species, at the position 873 (T → C), 1322 (A → G), 1331 (C → T), 2039 (T → C), 2063 (A → G), 2498 (A → G), 2499 (G → T), 2500 (T → G) and 2897 (G → A).</p><p>Derivatio nominis.</p><p>The name of the new species is established by the name of range area “ Boncuk Dağları ” Mts., located between Muğla and Denizli Provinces of Turkey.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Currently the new species,  P. boncukdagensis sp. nov., is known only from the type locality Tuzla Pass of Boncuk Mts., but this altitudinal chain is isolated by lowlands from surrounding highlands. Regarding this statement, the record of  P. zonatus zonatus from Sandras Mt. in Muğla Province (close to Tuzlabeli) by Sevgili et al. (2018) may refer to  P. boncukdagensis but needs confirmation. The male song consists of 11.3 (9–16) ms of 14.65 (10–21) impulses and with occasional after-clicks following the main syllable at 20–30 ms. The peak frequency spectrum lies between 35 and 50 kHz.

in Sevgili et al. 2018: 37, syn. n. (https://orthoptera.speciesfile.org/otus/847293/overview).</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Samples collected from highlands in the west of Antalya Province of Turkey (namely Tahtalıdağ, Ovacık Village, Bakırlıdağ and Uzunkarıştepe), lowlands (namely Fethiye, Dalaman, Ortaca and Marmaris) and the highland (Tuzlabeli-Boncuk Mts.) in south of Muğla Province, and highlands in east / southeast of Denizli Province (Honaz Mt.) were differently identified by Kaya (2018) and Sevgili et al. (2018). Kaya (2018) listed these localities under the new species,  P. ciplaki, as two subspecies. However, Sevgili et al. (2018) identified them as three different taxa; (i) the highland populations from Beydağları Mts. (namely Tahtalıdağ Mt. and Ovacık Village) as  P. zonatus zonatus Bolivar, (ii) the lowland Ortaca population as the new species,  P. salmani Sevgili, and (iii) the Marmaris population as  P. zonatus datca Sevgili, Sirin, Heller &amp; Lemonnier-Darcemont. Sequences from these localities constitute a single clade in the phylogenetic tree (Clade IIA). Species delimitations tests suggested 3 to 6 distinct species in the clade and we classified them as four species, two of them polytypic. One of these species, consistently suggested identical by all species delimitation tests, consists of sequences from the lowland plain of Fethiye, Dalaman and Ortaca, which corresponds to the type localities of  P. ciplaki ciplaki Kaya and  P. salmani Sevgili.</p><p>Proposing the population in the lowlands of Fethiye, Dalaman and Ortaca as an identical species suggests  P. ciplaki Kaya and  P. salmani Sevgili as a single species and requires a nomenclatural change. Kaya (2018) and Sevgili et al. (2018) were published in the same year. The online version of Kaya (2018) appeared on 12 April 2018 and the published version on 15 April 2018. Sevgili et al. (2018) appeared on 3 May 2018. According to the priority rule of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN), Kaya (2018) has priority and thus the new taxon proposed by Sevgili et al. (2018), namely  P. salmani Sevgili, constitutes a junior synonym of  P. ciplaki Kaya (Kaya 2018). It should be noted that the type localities of  P. salmani and  P. ciplaki are very close to each other along the same lowland. Rich illustrative material describing the morphology and song of these populations can be found in Kaya (2018) and Sevgili et al. (2018). However, phenotypic characters should be used with caution, as the phenotypic units defined in the previous studies do not correspond to genetic units (see Discussion section below). This species can be easily distinguished from all others in Clade IIA by the male cercus weakly incurved, with rounded tip and with denticles only at the tip. In addition to typical male cercus, there are unique mutations, detected in the concatenated matrix of COI + ND 2 + VAL by applying a PAUP analysis (File S 1), at the position 456 (T → C), 810 (C → T) 915 (A → T) and 2431 (G → A) defining  P. ciplaki as a unique clade.</p><p>Song.</p><p>Male song exemplified in Sevgili et al. (2018) shows a compact syllable with occasional appearance of an after-click. Our recordings (Fig. 10) revealed much higher complexity with the main part usually followed by two types of impulse groups – one or two high-energy short clicks (with 2–3 impulses), the first or both of which followed by a group of low-energy sparse impulses counting ca. 3–12. The whole complex syllable may thus last up to ca. 200 ms. As the presence and arrangement of distinct syllables varies, the reason why Sevgili et al. (2018) did not notice the same patterrn may be either a result of using short recordings of young males and / or of the properties of the recording equipment. This song structure is a good diagnostic character of the species by which it can be easily distinguished from all other members of the group. Its genetically sister taxon,  P. datca stat. nov., is well differentiated by its very simple song of isolated short syllables of 1 to 4 impulses lasting 7–15 ms (Sevgili et al. 2018 and Table 3).</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Regarding the above-listed localities (Kaya 2018; Sevgili et al. 2018) and those given in Table 1, this species occurs in the lowlands of Fethiye, Dalaman, and Ortaca in the south of Muğla provinces of Turkey.</p><p>Material examined.</p><p>See population 6 in Table 1. Regarding new taxonomic rearrangements made here, the distribution of  P. ciplaki Kaya requires to be redefined, especially for published localities.

(2018) described specimens from Marmaris, Datça Peninsula (population 17 in Table 1) as a new subspecies  P. zonatus datca . Mitochondrial sequences from this population constitute a sister group with the clade consisting of sequences from Bakırlıdağ (population 9 in Table 1) and Uzunkarıştepe (population 8 in Table 1), then this clade occurs as a sister clade with  P. ciplaki and these two later with  P. boncukdagensis . Each of Datça, Bakırlıdağ and Uzunkarıştepe population was suggested as distinct species by bPTP or all as a single species by ASAP and GMYC. The population 7 occurs in lowlands of Datça Peninsula while population 8 and 9 in highland habitats of Beydaglari Mts. with a distinct allopatry separated by the range of  P. ciplak i and  P. boncukdagensis in between. Distinctiveness of these two units was also supported by their occurrence as two separate clusters in COI - DAPC. Considering genetic and phenotypic data,  P. zonatus datca should be excluded from  P. zonatus and as all these three populations occur as distinct species by ASAP and GMYC, we elevated it to species level as  P. datca Sevgili, Sirin, Heller &amp; Lemonnier-Darcemont, 2018 stat. nov. However, internal diversity of this clade needs to be described further especially because of allopatric distribution and partial genetic and phenotypic difference. Additionally, it seems that the lowland and highland populations split from each other around 0.5 myr ago. Thus we prefer to arrange taxonomy according to the case and proposed the lowland and highland populations as two separate subspecies, as  P. datca datca Sevgili, Sirin, Heller &amp; Lemonnier-Darcemont (see population 7 in Table 1) and  P. datca montana Uluar, Chobanov &amp; Çıplak subsp. nov. (see population 8, 9 in Table 1). For song diagnostic characters from its genetic relative see under  P. ciplaki . Along with the discrete range (Fig. 1) both subspecies can be distinguished by the shape of male cercus (compare I and J in Fig. 5) and lineage specific unique / non-shared mutations, detected in concatenated matrix of COI + ND 2 + VAL by applying a PAUP analysis (File S 1): the position 549 (T → C), 1757 (C → G), 2172 (A → G) are unique to the species node of  P. datca; those at position 221 (T → G), 225 (C → A), 239 (C → T), 242 (C → A), 246 (T → G), 250 (G → A), 262 (T → C), 273 (A → G), 283 (A → T), 290 (C → A), 292 (C → T), 297 (T → C), 299 (T → A), 313 (A → T), 316 (C → T), 330 (A → G), 332 (C → T), 333 (T → C), 437 (C → A), 798 (A → G), 924 (A → G), 1153 (T → G), 1157 (T → C) and 1236 (G → A) are unique to  P. datca datca and those at 1289 (C → T), 1476 (A → T), 1659 (A → G), 2079 (A → G), 2109 (G → A) and 2164 (A → T) to  P. datca montana subsp. nov.</p><p>Material examined.</p><p>See populations 7, 8, and 9 in Table 1.

Although sequences from their type locality occurred within Clade IIA together with other sequences from Southwest Anatolia, Clade IIA was suggested as 3 to 6 distinct species by delimitation tests. Considering the new taxonomical composition suggested by species delimitation tests, and genetic and phenotypic differences between these phylogenetic units,  P. ciplaki denizliensis Kaya, 2018 was elevated to species level as  P. denizliensis stat. nov., leaving  P. ciplaki as a monotypic species. The population from Honaz Mt., Denizli, was reported as the only type locality of this species in the original description by Kaya (2018). The sequence from Ziyarettepe belongs to Kızıldağ Mts. in the northwest corner of Antalya and constitutes a sister branch to those from the type locality of  P. denizliensis . These two populations were suggested as species by bPTP while each as a separate distinct species by ASAP and GMYC, both sharing the last common ancestor 0.73 myr ago, just at the end of the Mid Pleistocene Transition. Considering differences between these two populations in male cercus (compare D and E in Fig. 5), absence of shared haplotypes and unique mutations per ancestral node of each, we proposed each as a separate subspecies – the nominate subspecies  P. denizliensis denizliensis Kaya (see population 4 in Table 1) and the new subspecies  Poecilimon denizliensis kizildagi Uluar, Chobanov &amp; Çıplak,  subsp. nov. (see population 5 in Table 1). The mutations at ancestral node of the species and each of the subspecies, detected in the concatenated matrix of COI + ND 2 + VAL by applying a PAUP analysis (File S 1), are also proposed as further diagnostic characters for ach taxon: the positions 105 (C → T), 240 (A → T), 400 (T → C), 522 (A → G), 2409 (A → G), 2497 (A → T) are unique to  P. denizliensis clade including both subspecies; 1208 (A → C, 1317 (G → A), 2044 (T → C) and 2113 (C → G) to  P. denizliensis denizliensis, and 75 (T → C), 579 (A → C), 2147 (T → C) and 3027 (T → C) to  P. denizliensis kizildagi subsp. nov.</p><p>Kaya (2018) provided rich illustrative material describing the morphology of this species (see E in Figs 5, 6, 9 – 12 in Kaya 2018), but provided no data for the song. The male song consists of one type of syllable. After-clicks were not observed. The syllable lasts 10–14 ms (average of 12 ms) and contains 15–18 impulses (average of 17). It starts with dense crescending impulses, which are followed by a few high-amplitude sparse impulses. The male song of  P. denizliensis denizliensis is exemplified in Figure 7 and song measurements are provided in Table 3. The song resembles that of  P. boncukdagensis to a great extent and based on this character it may be difficult to differentiate both taxa. From our recordings the song of  P. denizliensis has a higher repetition rate and a syllable with higher number of impulses within the first crescending part (compare Figs 7 and 10, and Table 3). Yet, the latter characters may be due to individual characteristics and could be masked if more data is used.</p><p>Material examined.</p><p>See populations 4 and 5 in Table 1.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/60364B72B05159F1A7C752BFC102ADBF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Head. Fastigium of vertex equal or slightly wider than half of the scapus. Thorax. The pronotum short, slightly constricted in the middle, median sulcus located after the middle, cylindrical in prozona and distinctly raised in metazona, caudal margin of the disc concave, medial carina occurs as a yellowish line or absent, disk bordered by large light lines divergent in anterior and posterior margins constituting roughly as “) (“ shape; paranotal margin almost straight along prozona and oblique along metazona. Tegmina short, extend beyond the posterior margin of pronotum, stridulatory vein hardly visible under the pronotum; the stridulatory file with 58 teeth. Male terminalia. Cercus cylindrical, gradually tapering toward apex, the curvature is more prominent apically, incurved roughly as L-shaped, with a robust, but slightly tapered apex and 2–3 hardly distinguishable denticles apically. The subgenital plate is as long as wide or slightly wider than long, distal margin is almost truncated.</p><p>Song.</p><p>Male song is not known.</p><p>Female.</p><p>Similar to the male in general. Thorax. Pronotum distinguishably raised in metazona, tegmina slightly extended beyond the hind margin of pronotum. Female terminalia. Subgenital plate triangular, ovipositor typical of the group.</p><p>Coloration.</p><p>General coloration black with a creamish pattern; vertex black or with black dots on a creamish brown background, antennae black with regular white rings as in the group. Disc of pronotum with black patterns or spots on a creamish brown background at the beginning of prozona, black in the middle and reddish brown in metazona; paranota with black spots on a creamish brown background; tegmina with typical black / light (marble or brown) pattern; all legs are black dorsally. Abdominal terga black in front 2 / 3 and light in the remaining part, the black and light bands extend into each other showing a population-specific pattern.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>The three infraclades in Clade IIB, each of which was consistently suggested as distinct species by all species delimitation tests, show  P. variicercis + ( P. parazonatus sp. nov. +  P. zonatus) relationships on the phylogenetic tree. However, they are very similar in the traditionally used structures / characters (Fig. 12). The distinct cercus, with almost blunt apex and indistinguishable denticles located at the tip, is the most prominent character distinguishing  P. parazonatus sp. nov. from the other two related species. The black coloration of abdominal terga is more distinct in  P. parazonatus sp. nov., but it is not reliable as it may differ in young and elder individuals, or may be locality-specific. Apart from phenotype, there are unambiguous mutations specific to the ancestral node of this species, which we considered as diagnostic characters of the species. These positions are (see File S 1); 1961 (A → G), 1259 (T → C), 1331 (A → T), and 1424 (T → C). The first is unique to  P. parazonatus sp. nov., and the other three unambiguous mutations are not unique to this clade, but none of them is shared with the two closest relative species,  P. variicercis and  P. zonatus .</p><p>Derivatio nominis.</p><p>The name of the new species is constituted by considering the phylogenetic position of  P. parazonatus sp. nov. with  P. zonatus on the phylogenetic tree as  P. variicercis + ( P. parazonatus sp. nov. +  P. zonatus).</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>The geographic section bordered by the two main branches of Euphrates, namely Murat and Karasu rivers, is an isolated section especially for the species preferring high-altitude habitats (Uluar et al. 2021). Previously Sevgili et al. (2018) identified samples from some localities belonging to this geographic section (from Tunceli and Erzincan Provinces of Turkey) as  P. zonatus . However, none of these was from Pülümür Valley, the type locality of  P. parazonatus sp. nov. The reports by Sevgili et al. (2018) from this geographic section possibly refer to the new species, yet they require confirmation by genetic data, as phenotype is not reliable enough for identification (see Discussion section below). Studying songs may provide further diagnostic characteristics.</p><p>Material examined.</p><p>See population 13 in Table 1.

The holotype label reads ‘ Syria’, while later material originates from Lebanon. However, the collection event and description significantly precede the establishment of Lebanon as a state. As Ramme (1933) suggested and subsequently Fontana and Buzzetti (2004) confirmed, the locality of  Locusta (Ephippigera) trilineata De Haan, 1843 from Tripoli was mistakenly referred by De Haan to the African coast, while it should refer to the city now in Lebanon. Based on personal communication by Klaus-Gerhard Heller, the collector of the type material of  P. varicornis – Christian Ehrenberg may have not visited present-day Syria (Ehrenberg and Hemprich 1828), and thus the locality ‘ Syria’ may be within the present borders of Lebanon.</p><p>Ramme (1933) wrote “ Through a large series of this species, which has never been reported again and which was excellently preserved, in contrast to the poorly preserved and heavily darkened specimens of Ehrenberg, which Ebner collected on August 8, 1932 in Lebanon near Beharré (foot of the Zedernpass, 2100–2200 m) …, I am now able to give an accurate description of this beautiful species ” (pers. comm. and translation by K. - G. Heller). However, the male collected by Ehrenberg from ‘ Syria’ has cercus (see Cigliano et al. 2024 – OSF online and Fig. 5 A 2) that significantly differ from those of the specimen from Lebanon depicted by Sevgili et al. (2018). Hence, the situation is still unclear and may concern two distinct taxa, whose taxonomic belonging needs further studies including newly collected material. Fresh specimens were not available to study DNA and to include in phylogenetic analyses.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>The type locality of the species was reported as ‘ Syria’ but see above.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/794F46161DBF5A2A9E71F5CC77292B9F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Though in a few cases, lower-amplitude syllables were observed, we cannot make a distinction between the structure of those, and the high-amplitude ones. In our case, the difference in amplitude may be a result of the different positioning of the animal toward the microphone. On the other hand, we observe complex syllables that were not mentioned by the latter authors. The complex syllables consist of the main syllable followed by a few after-clicks with lower energy and thus, the syllable becomes much longer (up to 108 ms).

Our song recordings of male-female duets provided in addition to the data by Sevgili et al. (2018), reveal two types of male song (either of single syllable or groups of two syllables) (Fig. 11). The main, first, or single, syllable has 2–4 impulses (rarely up to 7) and lasts 5 to 16 ms. The second syllable was measured with 3 to 9 impulses and lasted 7 to 14 ms. Together the two-syllable groups had a duration of 34–82 ms. Male song of two syllable types is represented within the two subgroups of  P. zonatus group and was reported for  P. azizsancar and  P. variicercis (Sevgili et al. 2018), as well as is common for the  Poecilimon jonicus group (e. g., Borissov et al. 2020, 2023).</p><p>The female song consists of a first part of one or, more frequently, two impulses, and of a second part consisting of a few impulses with lower energy or a quiet ‘ buzz’ (compare Fig. 11 – B and C). The first part of two impulses lasts 5–11 ms, while the whole song if the second part is present lasts ca. 40–60 ms. The latency times for the female response measured from the beginning of the male song was 27–39 ms (the latency lasts longer when there is one impulse in the first part of the female response).

(2018) presented detailed morphological and acoustic data about this species, supplied with rich illustrative material. However, all data in Sevgili et al. (2018) become controversial as opposed to the phylogenetic tree and taxonomy presented here, as these data are combined from several populations, many of which are currently excluded from  P. zonatus, such as  P. isozonatus,  P. anisozonatus,  P. parazonatus and  P. datca (see below). Thus, the morphological and bioacoustics descriptions, and related illustrative material by Sevgili et al. (2018), should be considered with caution. In principle, the morphological description by Sevgili et al. (2018) is still applicable to  P. zonatus, as these taxa differ from each other by minor differences. Thus, illustrations for the populations currently identified as  P. zonatus (see following paragraph and Fig. 1) should be considered as descriptive material of the species.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Possibly this is the most widespread species of the group. Its range covers associated altitudinal belts starting from the central part of the Anatolian Diagonal (or Maraş Triangle; see Çıplak et al. 1993) and extending to the Zagros Mountains (Van province of Turkey) in the east-west direction. Following the “ Previous records ” which review all previous published records and “ Material examined ” in Sevgili et al. (2018) and records in Kaya (2018), localities from the following provinces of Turkey were considered as  P. zonatus; Bitlis, Kahramanmaraş, Malatya, Muş and Van. Apart from these provinces some localities in Erzincan (Kemaliye) and Erzurum (Kop Mt.) also refer to  P. zonatus (see Fig. 1). The records by Sevgili et al. (2018) from Antalya, Konya, Niğde, and Muğla provinces of Turkey refer to other species (Fig. 1; see below). However, the material from Adana and Kayseri, the distributional border of  P. zonatus and  P. isozonatus, needs re-examination. The records of  P. zonatus by Sevgili et al. (2018) and Kaya (2018) from the Munzur Mountains in Erzincan and Tunceli provinces of Turkey, the area situated between the two main branches of the Euphrates, the Murat and Karasu rivers (see Fig. 1), probably belong to  P. parazonatus sp. nov. described here but require confirmation.</p><p>Material examined.</p><p>See population 14–16 in Table 1.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/41AD0E4FCA255EFB81DC5FC67418AB13	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
