Remarks.
I. Bolívar (1899)
described this species from Bimboğa Dağı in
Kahramanmaraş Province
as
Olynthoscelis indistinctus
.
Ebner (1919: 157)
synonymized it with
P. signata
in the genus
Pholidoptera
. The subsequent authors followed Ebner (
Ramme 1930
;
Karabağ 1958
; Çıplak 2000). But,
Karabağ (1952a: 34)
describing
P. grandis
,
compared and illustrated this species as
Pholidoptera indistincta
. Later,
Karabağ (1961b)
described
Parapholidoptera intermixta
from Sarız, Binboğa Dağı, in
Kahramanmaraş Province
. He compared his new species with
P. signata
and
P. noxia
, but not with
P. indistincta
in spite of the same
type
locality. The reason for overlooking this is probably the synonymic state of this species with
P. signata
. After my comparisons of all these taxa I have concluded that
P. indistincta
(
I.Bolívar, 1899
)
(
Figs. 296–299
; the photographs of the
types
in
Cigliano
et al.
2018
) is a different species from
P. signata
(Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1861)
(
Figs. 288–291
) and it is senior synonym of
P. intermixta
Karabağ, 1961
(see the photographs of the
types
in
Cigliano
et al.
2018
).
