Micronecta (Micronecta) wui alkani Hoberlandt, 1952

Micronecta (Micronecta) wui alkani Hoberlandt, 1952: 7–10 , Pl. I: Figs 1 –12, Pl. IX: Figs 65–68, Pl. X: Fig. 74 (original description, key to subspecies).

The holotype and 21 paratypes (including the allotype) are deposited in NMPC ; however,

only the 13 paratypes from Alacakilise and Armutlu represent the genuine M. w. alkani (see

WRÓBLEWSKI 1962a,b):

Eight paratypes from Suluhan were misidentified and in fact belong to Micronecta (Micronecta) anatolica anatolica Lindberg, 1922 (see WRÓBLEWSKI 1962a,b):
