Comment. Horváth (1901) published the species from locality ‘Akbes’ [= Akbez] in the contemporary Turkish province of Hatay. The voucher specimen is not present in Horváth’s collection in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest (D. Rédei, pers. comm.). Hoberlandt (1952a) interpreted this record as Sigara lateralis . This record has never been confirmed. The nomenclature of the species was fixed by ICZN (1995: Opinion 1795).
