Comments

Cyphodema rubrica Seidenstücker, 1954 , was recorded from İstanbul by Önder (1976). Matocq et al. (2014) convincingly argued that this record was highly dubious, since this species had only been recorded from Syria, Iraq, and Southeast Anatolia. Unfortunately, despite our thorough search in the collection of LEMT, we could not locate the voucher specimen. However, in accordance with Matocq et al. (2014), we consider this record erroneous and eliminate this species from the Heteroptera fauna of İstanbul.
