Current status. Junior synonym of Calliptamus coelesyriensis Giglio-Tos, 1893 .

Comments. At the time of inspection, the above type series was divided and deposited in two different places in the collection: the holotype and the allotype were found in the box with other inventarized (i.e. numbered) specimens (box no. 1032 of the 2012–2013 inventory), the paratypes were found in the general collection with other Calliptamus species (box no. 735 of the 2012–2013 inventory). Two male specimens had dissected abdomen pinned separately: male genitalia labeled ‘ Ankara 1’ were pinned next to the holotype (which bears the label ‘ Ankara 3’), dissected abdomen labeled ‘ Ankara 3’ was pinned next to the dissected paratype bearing the label ‘ Ankara 1’. Based on these labels which do not bear any indication of being re-pinned, it seems probable that the genitalia were incorrectly associated to the specimens either at the moment of dividing the type series, or even earlier. We have followed the original labels for the association of the genitalia to the respective dissected male and also labeled the dissected genitalia accordingly. However, we have also attached labels indicating the original position of the respective genitalia in the collection as found in 2013 to each of them.

Of eight paratypes mentioned in the original description (5 JJ 3 ♀♀) there are only four males and one female present in NMPC, remaining one male and two females were not found.

Although 1951 is mentioned in the header of the paper in which Calliptamus tenuicercis anatolicus was described, the respective issue of Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae was only published in 1952 as indicated by the date of publication mentioned on the front title of the issue, as well as by the original identi¿cation labels attached to the above specimens, which all bear the date of March 1952. In contrast to previous usage, 1952 is hence the correct year of description of this species.
