Micronecta poweri poweri (Douglas & Scott, 1869) (Micronectidae)

= Micronecta vitticeps ( Horváth, 1895)

European Turkey. Josifov (1986a), Önder et al. (2006).

Asian Turkey. Stichel (1955, as M. vitticeps ), Önder et al. (1981, as M. vitticeps ; 2006).

General distribution. Widely distributed in Europe including South European Territory of Russia and also in Georgia ( Jansson 1995; Protić 1998, 2001; Simov & Josifov 2004; Gogala 2009).

Comment. The specimens identified as Micronecta vitticeps by Hoberlandt (1952a) belong in fact to M. scholtzi (P. Kment revid.), not to M. poweri . The records from European Turkey by Josifov (1986a) and Önder et al. (2006) seem to be based on Hoberlandt (1952a), so this species could be excluded from faunal list of Turkish Thrace for the time being. The records from Anatolia ( Önder et al. 1981) require confirmation.

Identification. Jansson (1986a), Kanyukova (2006).
