POECILIMON LUSCHANI LUSCHANI RAMME, 1933

Poecilimon luschani Ramme, 1933: 539–540 .

Type information: Holotype – male; Kleinasien ( Turkey), Göllbakti (Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna; not examined). In the original description, the type locality was given as ‘Göllbakti (Kleinasien)’ by Ramme (1933). Later, Karabag˘ (1958) gave this locality as ‘Gölbas¸ı-Ankara (?)’, with uncertainty. However, members of this species group are present along a line in west Anatolia (plus the Balkans) and no record has been mentioned from central Anatolia since that date. Heller (2004) and later Ünal (2005) (also V. Fet, pers. comm.) reported that Luschan collected around Kale (Antalya) in south-west Anatolia and thus very probably Kale is the type locality.

Material examined: See Table 1.

Description: For morphology see Table S1, Figures 14–16 , 27 , 40–42 , 58–60 , 72 ; for song see Table 2 and Figures 79 , 82–84 . Additional description can be found in Ramme (1933) and Bei-Bienko (1954). Distribution: Endemic to south-west Anatolia, in the western part of Antalya Province and the most eastern end of Mug˘la Province, Turkey ( Fig. 1 ). All populations belonging to this subspecies are recorded from lowlands in a range starting from Demre (Antalya Province) and extending to the most eastern end of Mug˘la Province in the Es¸en Valley.
