Diagnosis. The new subspecies P. antalyaensis anemurium differs from the other two subspecies mainly by the following characters (compare H with F and G in Figures 2–13 ); male subgenital plate with a convex caudal margin ( Figure 11H ) (concave in other two forms); male cerci almost straight in basal 3/4 and incurved in 1/4 and elongated inwards directed part and tapered apex (with short and robust apex in other two); the higher number of stridulatory pegs (> 100(98) in P. antalyaensis anemurium ; <92 in other two forms), the short and robust ovipositor (ratio length/medial width 3.9–4.1 in P. antalyaensis anemurium ;> 4.9–5.6 in P. antalyaensis antalyaensis ) and male calling song (see Figures 17–18 ).

Etymology. Named according to the antic city “Anemurium” in the district of Anamur, a town belonging to Mersin Province of Turkey.

FIGURE 22. Relationship of body size and middle peak frequency (given as mean of carrier frequencies at -10 dB below and above peak frequency) in the P. inflatus group. A- Peak frequency versus pronotum length, B- Peak frequency versus length of hind femur. Filled symbols mark data from identified individuals, for open symbols means of sizes were used. The black dots indicate the combinations known from other Poecilimon species (from Heller et al. 2006). X marks P. tschorochensis with huge inflated tegmina.
