Poecilimon (Poecilimon) inflatus View in CoL Species Group stat. rev.

The species group can be defined by the combination of two characters. The first is inflated metazona especially in males. In lateral view dorsal margin of pronotum is almost straight in prozona, starting raising after the mid sulcus up to 2/3 of metazona and later curve downward constituting a blister-like inflation ( Figures 3 View FIGURE 3 , 4 View FIGURE 4 , 7 View FIGURE 7 , 8 View FIGURE 8 ). The caudal margin of metazona is convex or produced backward. Due to elevation of the metazona the caudal margin of the paranota is oblique or slightly S-shaped constituting distinct shoulders. In parallel with extending of pronotum, male tegmina are fully or almost fully concealed by pronotum. The above described characters are typical for four species; P. inflatus , P. martinae , P. cretensis and Pa. antalyaensis . The inflation of pronotum is indistinct, caudal margin of metazona is almost truncate or indistinctly convex and tegmina are slightly visible in P. bilgeri and P. isopterus sp. n. However, the caudal margin of metazona is more or less down curved and shoulders are distinguishable in these two species as in other members of the group. The second character, unique to the group but not shared by all species, is the male cerci black in their apical one-third to half in most of the species (black only along denticles in P. bilgeri , P. antalyaensis antalyaensis and P. cretensis ). Further, the male cerci are slightly curved and mostly with a few small denticles ( Figure 9 View FIGURE 9 ). Although P. bilgeri and P. isopterus sp. n. seem to be aberrant to others DNA data (Çıplak et al.; unpublished data) support monophyly of the group. Thus, both inflated metazona and male cerci black in apical half are the characters defining the P. inflatus group. Besides these two characters the fastigium less than one-third of scapus and the first tergum without a tubercle are further characters to distinguish the group from other members of Poecilimon .

P. inflatus View in CoL and P. cretensis are the members of the group based on indication by Ramme (1933). P. martinae View in CoL is another member of the group as Heller (2004) suggested it sister species to P. inflatus View in CoL . Heller (2004) proposed P. bilgeri Karabağ, 1953 View in CoL as another possible member of the group. Karabağ (1975) defined the monotypic genus Parapoecilimon View in CoL as intermediate between Isophya View in CoL and Poecilimon View in CoL . However, Parapoecilimon antalyaensis View in CoL share typical synapomorphies with the members of P. inflatus View in CoL group (see Heller 2004). Further, there is no other character to diagnose Parapoecilimon View in CoL from Poecilimon View in CoL . Phylogenetic trees based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences ( Ullrich et al. 2010) also suggest Parapoecilimon View in CoL as an internal branch within Poecilimon View in CoL . In the light of these data we synonymise genus Parapoecilimon Karabağ 1975 View in CoL syn. n. with Poecilimon Fischer, 1853 View in CoL and use a new combination for Parapoecilimon antalyaensis Karabağ (1975) View in CoL Poecilimon antalyaensis ( Karabağ, 1975) View in CoL comb. n.

Examination of new material belonging to Poecilimon antalyaensis View in CoL revealed three forms diverging in morphology and song. With this decision we are defining two new subspecies in the species. A similar case is also observed for P. inflatus View in CoL . The population of this species ranging from Kemer to Demre exhibits morphological differences from the remaining part and this distinctness is well supported by genetic data (Çıplak et al.; unpublished data). Thus, we split this species into two subspecies. Under the above given statements the Poecilimon (P.) inflatus View in CoL species group consists of the following species and subspecies.
