( Fig. 3G )

Calyptopsis lineimargo Reitter, 1897: 310 (original description).

Type locality. ‘Akbes [now Akbez, Hatay Province, Turkey]’.

Type material examined. LECTOTYPE (present designation): sex unknown, ‘ Akbes // Typus Calyptopsis lineimargo Rttr. / Coll. Reitter. ’ ( HNHM).

Distribution. The species is known only from the type locality.

Remarks. Reitter described this species from North Syria (Akbez), but at present this town is located in the north of the Turkish province of Hatay. This species distinctly differs from most of the Turkish species in shiny body and rounded anterior margin of head, without tooth in the middle.

Type material of E. Reitter is spread among numerous institutions and the depositories were usually not listed. Hence, the lectotype is designated to conserve identity of this species.
