Remarks. Both Mangıt and Yerli (2018) and Bektaş et al. (2020) suggested that A. schischkovi is a synonym of A. derjugini . By the way, Parin et al. (2014) suggested that both A. derjugini and A. schischkovi are a synonym of A. mento . Therefore, these situations should be clarified with detailed comparative studies.
