Notonecta (Notonecta) reuteri reuteri Hungerford, 1928

Asian Turkey. Kiritshenko (1918, as N. lutea , misidentification), Dursun (2011).

General distribution. Notonecta reuteri reuteri is a Eurosiberian subspecies, extending to Transcaucasia ( Armenia, Georgia); whereas N. reuteri ribauti Poisson, 1935 is distributed in the Alps and Massif Central ( France) ( Polhemus 1995e, Coulianos 2003, Lukashuk & Moroz 2007).

Comment. According to Kanyukova (1973, 2006), Kiritshenko’s (1918) records of Notonecta lutea Müller, 1776 from Georgia and Armenia belong to N. reuteri . However, Kanyukova (1973, 2006) did not mention either the record from Chaldyr lake [= Çıldır lake on boundary of Ardahan and Kars province] or the occurrence of N. reuteri in Turkey. The occurrence of N. reuteri in Anatolia is recently confirmed by Dursun (2011).

Identification. Kanyukova (1982, 2006), Soós et al. (2009).
