N o t e s: Eulasia korbi is likely to be a colour form of Eulasia chrysopyga , as specimens with intermediate characters, or populations with not clear-cut conditions, are known. However, the two forms seems to occur mostly separately, therefore a subspecific rank may be possible. For example, among samples examined by us, all specimens from Köprüköy, Geyikli, exhibit almost completely white-yellowish long hair, departing significantly from the populations of ordinarily dark-haired E. chrysopyga observed in most of the Erzurum region. A taxonomic re-evaluation of this taxon is anyway beyond the aim of this work, and we applied to our samples the current taxonomic arrangement.
