Callicorixa praeusta praeusta ( Fieber, 1848) ( Corixidae : Corixinae)

Asian Turkey. Kiritshenko (1918).

General distribution. Eurosiberian species distributed in most of European countries (except southern Europe), Asian part of Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Siberia, north of Russian Far East, north and north-western China ( Jansson 1995, Ilie & Ban-Calefariu 2010).

Comment. Kiritshenko (1918) recorded C. praeusta from localities Sarykamysh [= SarıkamıŞ] in Kars province and Zurzuna [= Çıldır] in Ardahan province. Kiritshenko & Jaczewski (1960) did not mention any specimen from those two localities in the description of C. raddei . However, according to Kanyukova (2006) all Kiritshenko’s (1918) records of C. praeusta from Armenia and Georgia belong to C. raddei . There is no reliable record of Callicorixa praeusta from Turkey.

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