C o m m e n t: The original description of Q. boluensisis based on a male holotypefrom "Abant-Gebirbe bei Bolu" and two female paratypesfrom "Bolu-Gebirge bei Mengen" ( KORGE 1971), that of Q. deuveion a male holotypeand a female paratypefrom "Drannaz Dag" ( COIFFAIT 1978a). The latter was synonymized with the former by SOLODOVNIKOV (2004). SOLODOVNIKOV (2004, 2005) provided additional records from Bolu, Zonguldak, Kastamonu, Sinop, Ordu, Gümüşhane, and Trabzonprovinces. He also reported one femalefrom Borçka in Artvin province, but this record is zoogeographically implausible and most likely refers to Q. smetanaior Q. walteri. The confirmed distribution of Q. boluensisis confined to the Pontic Mountains from Boluin the west to Trabzonin the east ( Map 1) and parapatrically borders on that of Q. smetanai. In one locality in Trabzon(Altındere Milli Park), one maleof Q. boluensiswas collected together with two malesand one femaleof Q. smetanai(see grey circle in Map 1). For characters distinguishing Q. boluensisand Q. smetanaisee the comment in the section on Q. smetanai. Size, coloration, and other external characters of Q. boluensisare subject to remarkable intraspecific variation. The pronotum may be uniformly reddish, reddish with a diffuse and oblong darker spot on either side of the midline, or blackish-brown with reddish margins. The colour of the abdomen ranges from reddish to blackish-brown with narrowly reddish posterior margins. The palisade fringe at the posterior margin of tergite VII may be complete (though very narrow), reduced to indistinct rudiments, or completely absent. Considering that, like the typematerial (see also KORGE 1971), all the examined specimens are micropterous and have a blackish head, it appears noteworthy that SOLODOVNIKOV (2004)states on p. 229 that "in Q. boluensishead and pronotum [are] never black" and that SOLODOVNIKOV (2005: 7)seems to suggest that the specimens examined by him earlier are not micropterous: "Unlike other examined material on Q. boluensis..., these two specimens... have shortened wings".
