Remarks. All studied males collected from S.W. Turkey including the paratypes and topotype of O. davisi have male genitalia undoubtedly agreeing with O. yersini . Thus, O. davisi is conspecific of this species, but the external diagnostic characters given by Uvarov (1949: 8) and the distribution localized mainly in S.W. and W. of Anatolia and some Greek islands near to Turkey are enough evidence to consider it as a subspecies of O. yersini . Massa (2009) considered the specimens, which have different genitalia from O. yersini , as O. davisi . Those specimens in fact are an undescribed species (see O. massai sp. nov. below).
