Cymatia coleoptrata (Fabricius, 1777) ( Corixidae : Cymatiainae )

Asian Turkey. Jansson (1986a, in map as unrevised), Önder et al. (2006).

Turkey (not distinguished). Kıyak & Özsaraç (2001).

General distribution. Europe, Georgia, Siberia, and Central Asia ( Jansson 1995, Protić 1998, Gogala 2003, Prokin et al. 2008).

Comment. Jansson (1986a) mapped the species from western Anatolia based on an unverified record. Jansson (1995) did not list the species from Turkey. Önder et al. (2006) listed the species from Aydın province without reference to the source, but it was probably based on Jansson’s (1986a) map. The occurrence of C. coleoptrata in Turkey needs further confirmation, but considering its presence in neighbouring Bulgaria and Georgia, it is quite possible.

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