( Figs. 3–4 , 9, 13–15 )

Urometopus anatolicus Smreczyński, 1977: 392 .

Material examined. TURKEY: ANATOLIA: ORDU PROVINCE: Akkuş, 8.vi.2009, 1J, F.Angelini lgt.( ECRI). SAMSUN PROVINCE: Ladik, Kiliçarsian Geçidi, 16.vi.2009, 14 spec., F. Angelini lgt. (8 FAFI, 6 ECRI). BOLU PROVINCE: near Abant Lake, 27.vi.2003, 1 ♀, P. Białooki lgt. ( ECRI).

Description of male. The male of this species was never described; it differs from the female by its much more elongate elytra with less protruding shoulders. Habitus and antenna: Figs. 3, 4 , 9 . The aedeagus is depicted on figures 13 and 14.

Comment. SMRECZYŃSKI (1977) described this species, not included in the catalogue by BO- ROVEC (2006), based on a single female from the Samsun province, 27 km SW of Samsun in the direction of Kavak. BIAŁOOKI (2007) reported the recollection of several specimens near the Abant Lake, Bolu province in north-western Turkey. The studied individual from the latter locality differs in no way from the easternmost specimens.

Distribution. Turkey, north Anatolia (provinces Bolu, Ordu and Samsun) (see Fig. 15 ).
