Acupalpus (Acupalpus) notatus MULSANT & REY 1861

G e n e r a l d i s t r i b u t i o n: Madeira, Canary Islands, Mediterranean region, Crimea, southern Russia and "Caucasus".

D i s t r i b u t i o n i n M i d d l e E a s t: So far reliable records are only known from Turkey ( JAEGER 1988: 22, 1992: 226, 1999: 961).

JEDLIČKA (1967: 73) reported the species also from Bala Murghab in north Afghanistan. This record has been omitted in my former contributions on the Middle East ( JAEGER 1992:226, 1999: 961) as well as in the Palaearctic Catalogue (JAEGER & KATAEV 2003: 398). The single specimen examined by me most likely represents an atypical coloured female of A. maculatus .

The following additional material from Turkey, including first records for the provinces

Kastamonu, Muğla and Samsun, has been examined.
