( Fig. 60 , 84 )

Type material examined. Holotype: "ɗ, Anamas Gbg., Kl.- As., Pisidischer Taurus, Weirather, Innsbruck / 79 / 46/4 / Holotypus " / Xantholinus (Helicophallus) tauricus Bord. n. sp., Det. A. Bordoni 1971, Holotypus ( MHNG).

Additional material examined. TURKEY: Konya: 1Ψ, Akşehir env., Sultan Daġı, under stones, 30.V.1960, leg. Petrowitz & Ressl (cAss); 1Ψ, Akşehir env., Sultan Daġı, in detritus, 24.IV.1960, leg. Petrowitz & Ressl (cAss); 1Ψ, Akşehir env., Sultan Daġı, meadow, in detritus, 29.IV.1960, leg. Petrowitz & Ressl ( NHMW.

Comment. According to the original description, the type locality is " Turchia, Tauro, Anemas [recte: Anamas]" ( Bordoni 1972b), which presumably refers to the Anamasdaġı in Isparta (37°47'N, 31°13'E). The additional specimens listed above, unfortunately all females, were collected near the type locality, but their identification must be considered tentative. The aedeagus of the holotype is illustrated in Fig. 60 .
