Xantholinus bitlisicus ASSING, 2007

M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Turkey:13, Bitlis, Yelkenli, Van lake, 38°28'N, 42°32'E, 1800 m, pitfall, 21.IV.-20.V.2014, leg. Reuter (cFel).

C o m m e n t: The original description is based on 16 type specimens from Tatvan, Bitlis province. ANLAŞ (2014) subsequently recorded from the environs of Tatvan again, but judging from the photograph of the aedeagus provided in that paper, it seems doubtful if the specimens were identified correctly. The internal structures resemble those of X. luteipennis more than those of X. bitlisicus .
