Paratypes. 3 MM, 1 F, same data as holotype; TURKEY: 2 MM, Antalya, road from Kaş to Kale , 36.268719o N, 29.466345o E, 16m, 04.vi.2010, leg. S. Kaya, Z. Boztepe, E. Akgül & Ö. Pekter ( AUZM) (sound record); 3 MM, 1 F , Antalya, Demre, Davazlar village , 36.256538o N, 29.856145o E, 236 m, 04.vi.2010, leg. S. Kaya, Z. Boztepe, E. Akgül & Ö. Pekter ( AUZM) (sound record) ; Antalya, south of Kemer , 36.39273o N, 30.40127o E, 04.v.2014, leg. D. Chobanov (CC) (sound record); 8 MM, 4 FF , Antalya, road from Demre to Kaş , 36.236511o N, 29.946168o E, 120m, 19.v.2006, leg. S. Kaya, D. Sirin & M.S. Taylan ( AUZM); 4MM, 1F , Antalya, road from Kalkan to Sütleğen , 36.268719o N, 29.466345o E, 867 m, 03.v.2005, leg. B. Çıplak ( AUZM).

Diagnosis. The number of stridulatory teeth>100 (<92 or less in the nominate subspecies) (compare A and B in Figure 6 ), the male cerci almost straight (at least apex is inward in the nominate subspecies) (compare A and B in Figure 9 ), the female subgenital plate with widely rounded posterior margin (almost straight in the nominate subspecies) and male paraproct almost straight at posterior margin (rounded in the nominate subspecies) are main characters diagnosing P. inflatus lyciae from the nominate subspecies. Additionally animals from Demre and Kemer can be distinguished by smaller body size.

FIGURE 22. Relationship of body size and middle peak frequency (given as mean of carrier frequencies at -10 dB below and above peak frequency) in the P. inflatus group. A- Peak frequency versus pronotum length, B- Peak frequency versus length of hind femur. Filled symbols mark data from identified individuals, for open symbols means of sizes were used. The black dots indicate the combinations known from other Poecilimon species (from Heller et al. 2006). X marks P. tschorochensis with huge inflated tegmina.
