European Turkey. Jansson (1986a, in map as revised; 1995), Önder et al. (2006), Aukema (2009); this paper.

Asian Turkey. Kiritshenko (1918, as Arctocorisa striata ), Hoberlandt (1952a, revised!), Jansson (1986a, in map as revised), Özesmi & Önder (1988), Jansson (1995), Yıldırım et al. (1999), Kıyak et al. (2004), Önder et al. (2006), Kıyak et al. (2007a), Dursun (2011); this paper.

Turkey (not distinguished). Stichel (1955).

General distribution. Most of the European countries (except Iberian Peninsula), Anatolia, Transcaucasia, Iran, Asian part of Kazakhstan, Kirgizia, north-western China, and Siberia ( Jansson 1995, Protić 1998, Kanyukova 2000). The records from Morocco ( Gheit 1995) need further confirmation.

Comment. The strange variability of Sigara striata populations from Daghestan and Azerbaijan, previously identified as Sigara albiventris , was discussed by Kanyukova (1995, 2000).

One female of S. striata from ‘İŞaklı’, identified by Hoberlandt (1952a), represents a member of the subgenus Subsigara , possibly S. daghestanica (P. Kment revid.).

Identification. Jansson (1986a), Linnavuori & Hosseini (2000), Kanyukova (2000, 2006).

Subgenus Subsigara Stichel, 1935
