Material from Turkey examined. 2 larvae (ZISP, Nos. 4394 and 4403) ex Mus musculus, GümüŞhane Prov., UğurtaŞı , 1750 m a.s.l., 12 June 1998, coll. AAS .

Remarks. See comments for the genus. Cheladonta sp. 1 differs from the material identified by Kepka (1966) as Ch. ikaoensis in larger NDV (102–107 vs. 66–70). Differs from the material on Ch. flava from Turkey in lower value of AP (22–23 vs. 26–29), longer AL (30–31 vs. 22–25), shorter legs (Ip 595–655 vs. 680–736), and higher value of NDV (102–107 vs. 73–77).
