Remarks. Although the species name of this taxon is “anatolica ” this species was recorded from the mainland Anatolia in 1951 for the first time by Ramme (1951:368). Werner (1933: 202–204) considered and listed Kos (type locality) and Ikaria islands within the Asian islands as “the cost of Asia Minor ” [ Anatolia]. Ramme (1951) recorded it from Bornova and Seydiköy [now Gaziemir] in İzmir Province. The occurrence of this species in the mainland Anatolia was confirmed using a historical female by Ünal (2012: 37), after Willemse’s (1982: 210) suspicion. Here are some new records from different locations of Western Anatolia.
