Sigara (Subsigara) falleni ( Fieber, 1848) ( Corixidae : Corixinae)

European Turkey. Jansson (1986a, in map as revised), Önder et al. (2006).

Asian Turkey. Kıyak et al. (2006), Topkara et al. (2009)

Turkey (not distinguished). Kıyak & Özsaraç (2001).

General distribution. Distributed in most of Europe (except Iberian Peninsula), Asian part of Kazakhstan, northwestern China, Mongolia, Siberia, and Japan (Hokkaido) ( Jansson 1995, Protić 1998, Hayashi & Miyamoto 2009).

Comment. Jansson (1986a) mapped a verified record just on the border of Greece and Turkish Thrace, but he did not give any exact record for Turkish Thrace. Önder et al. (2006) listed the species from Edirne, but without giving the source. The presence of S. falleni from Turkish Thrace thus needs confirmation.

Kıyak et al. (2006) and Topkara et al. (2009) published S. falleni from Anatolia. We expect that these records most probably belong to misidentified S. daghestanica . According to Kanyukova (2006) all the records of S. falleni from Transcaucasia belong to S. daghestanica .

Identification. Jansson (1983, 1986a), Kanyukova (2006).
