Notes

The type locality of Simulium bukovskii is in Crimea (Ukraine) and its distribution ranges from the Balkans to Armenia. It was recorded from Turkey by different authors ( Crosskey and Zwick 2007). Furthermore, it is similar to S. degrangei Dorier and Grenier (1960), which is also common in most countries of southern Europe. Crosskey and Zwick (2007) emphasized the similarity of the two species and that synonymy should be considered.
