Karabağ).   Male:Fastigium narrow, nearly half as wide as antennal scape with parallel or slightly convergent sides and dorsally with shallow groove ( Fig. 29G–J). Pronotum short, posteriorly not narrowed, laterally widened, anterior margin of the pronotum straight, but posterior margin slightly excised, and laterally almost straight prozona, slightly elevated at metazona ( Fig. 21A–G). Tegmina shorter than pronotum, not protruding beyond of first abdominal tergite ( Fig. 21A–G). Male cerci ( Fig. 23A–H) proximally massive, gradually tapering towards the apex. Apical part of cerci curved almost in a right angle with longitudinal axis of base. Apex not pointed, ending 4–5 small denticles at bottom edge, 2–3 denticles inner part. Subgenital plate of male wide at base, apically narrowed ( Fig. 10J–N). Apical margin of subgenital plate of male is variable from slightly sinuate to almost straight.  Stridulatory file:Stridulatory files of males from eight localities are downcurved at apical part and bear 54–74 fine teeth ( Fig. 17A–C; Table 3). The general morphology of the file is similar to that of  P. zonatus datca ssp. n.,  P. variicercis, P. vodnensisand  P. salmani sp. n.It differs from these species by having a higher number and a different shape of teeth ( Fig. 17; Table 3). In P. zonatusteeth are arranged closer to each other than in other species. Length of the biggest tooth of the file is highly variable with an average of 103 µm.  Bioacoustics:The male calling song consists of faint “click”-like syllables repeated at very variable periods ( Figs. 19, 20, 31). Each syllable is a closing hemisyllable, varying between 7–16 ms ( Table 4). Each syllable was composed of 3–10 initial impulses of low amplitude and 5–12 impulses with higher amplitude and mean number of impulses per syllable was about 9.7 ( Fig. 35). The peak frequencies of the song had their maximum between 37 and 53 kHz.  Female:Fastigium verticis as in male, but it differs slightly in Malatyapopulation with parallel edges, wider than half of scapus and an indistinct sulcus above ( Fig. 29F, K). Disk of pronotum laterally widened, frontal margin almost straight, caudal margin slightly concave or straight; pronotum with dorsal margin in profile silightly concave in mesozona ( Fig. 21H–L). Tegmina clearly shorter than half of the pronotal length or sometimes fully concealed, but overlapping dorsally ( Fig. 21H–L). Subgenital plate small and triangular, weakly projected on caudal margin ( Fig. 12E–G). Ovipositor, gonangulum and lamella as in Figs. 12, 28A–D.  Coloration: Although the overall body color is darker, the coloration tends to vary geographically most in those color patterns that vary individually most within a population ( Fig. 42–46).   Remarks:  P. zonatuscan be distinguished from other closely related species  P. varicornis, P. variicercisand  P. varicornisby the following combination of characters: laterally widened pronotum in both sexes; in general, compared with  P. variicercismale cerci less curved inward at distal part; when compared with  P. salmani, apex of male cerci not blunt in P. zonatus , P. varicornisand  P. variicercis; subgenital plate of male less narrowed than other species at distal part; female cerci slightly thicker at apex ( Fig. 27). Of these species of the group,  P. z. zonatusshows some similarities to the new species  P. salmaniin male calling song. It can be acoustically separated from  P. salmaniby having a longer syllable period and less syllables per minute. Additionaly, syllables of  P. salmanicontain more impulses, and depending on this, the duration of the syllable is longer. The morphology (pronotum, male and female cerci, male stridulatory file, subgenital plate of both sexes and ovipositor) and some bioacoustics characters of  P. z. zonatusare quite different from both  P. tauricolaand  P. azizsancar sp. n.. The abdominal dorsal colour pattern was used as a taxonomic character by Ramme (1933). However, this pattern is very variable between populations and sexes even in the same population. We observed a clear colour pattern differentiation on abdomen between  P. salmaniand  P. z. datca(see Fig. 46, 48).   FIGURE 18.Medial teeth of stridulatory file at higher magnification.

It was found together with some tettigoniids;  P.

This species should be considered with a Least Concern status on the basis of the extent of occurrence criteries of IUCN. 1841142825 [151,587,1306,1331] Turkey Kahramanmaras 22 23 1 Kahramanmaras holotype 1841142819 [199,1320,1378,1403] R.
