Acupalpus (Acupalpus) suturalis DEJEAN 1829

G e n e r a l d i s t r i b u t i o n: France, Italy, Balkan Peninsula, southern Central and eastern Europe, Transcaucasia, Turkey.

D i s t r i b u t i o n i n M i d d l e E a s t: Reliable records are so far known only from Turkey ( APFELBECK 1904: 205, JAEGER 1992: 227, 1999: 962). The country records from Iraq without detailed localities ( ALI 1966: 21, 1974: 54) are based most likely on a misidentifaction and refer probably to another species of the A. suturalis group.

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

Ağri, Ankara, Konya, Niğde and Tokat has been examined.
