POECILIMON LEDERERI RAMME, 1933

Poecilimon ledereri Ramme, 1933: 540–541 .

Type information: Holotype – male; paratypes two males and one female; Turkey - İzmir, Bozdag ˘ (Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna) (not examined).

Material examined: Specimens used for morphological, bioacoustic, and molecular studies are listed in Table 1 and shown in Figure 1 . Further specimens identified as P. ledereri in the collection of K. G. Heller (K. G. Heller, pers. comm.) are as follows ( Fig. 1 ). Four males and four females, Turkey, Aydın Province, Nyssa , 37°54′N, 28°9′E, 5.v.1985 (legitat K. G. Heller) ; one male, Turkey – Izmir Province, Zeytinlik, 38 km south-east of Turgutlu (near Ödemis ¸), 38°16′59 " N, 28°0′44 " E, 3.vi.2005 (legitat Klaus Reinhold) ; nine males, Turkey – Izmir Province, Aydin Dagları, about 20 km south of Tire , pass, 38°1′N, 27°47′E, 900 m, 31.v.2010, (legitat Maryanska-Nadachowska) ; three males and one female, Turkey – Izmir Province, Boz Dag ˘, 38°21′N, 28°5′E, 7.v.1985 (legitat K. G. Heller) ; four males, Turkey – Izmir Province, Gölcük, Boz Dag ˘ları, c. 18 km north of Ödemis ¸, 38°19′N, 28°0′E, 1100 m, 3.vi.2010 (legitat Maryanska-Nadachowska) .

Description: For morphology see Table S1, Figures 4 , 22 , 30 , 48 , and 66; for song see Table 2 and Figures 74 , 82–84 . Additional description can be found in Ramme (1933) and Bei-Bienko (1954).

Distribution ( Fig. 1 ): Endemic to Aegean Anatolia; mainly associated with the Bozdaglar and Aydın Dag˘ları mountain belts in İzmir and Aydın Provinces of Turkey. The southern end of the range is bordered by the Büyük Menderes River. Previous records can be found in Ramme (1933), Karabag˘ (1958), and Heller (1990). The records of P. ledereri from Aydın Province (1, Bozdog˘ an, Kemer; 2, Çakirbeyli; and 3, Çamköy) by Ünal (2005) correspond to the range of P. tuncayi .

Remarks: Although morphological differences between P. ledereri and P. tuncayi are not prominent, the first species is distinguishable by shorter and weakly incurved male cerci. The impulse number per syllable on average is higher in P. ledereri . Although the phenotypic differences are not large, genetic data clearly separate it from P. tuncayi and all other species.
