Nomisia orientalis Dalmas, 1921

N. orientalis Dalmas, 1921: p. 289 , Figs 72, 91 (Dmf) (holotype from Asia Minor – not examined); Seyyar et al. 2009: p. 65 , Figs 13–20 (mf).

Comments. N. orientalis was described by Dalmas (1921, p. 289, figs72, 91) from Turkey ( Asia Minor). Its presence was confirmed by Seyyar et al. (2009) who provided further illustrations of the genital organs of both sexes (p. 65, Figs 13–20 ) and further records from south –central Turkey. Material under this species name was found in the collection of H. Hadjissarantos at ZMUA although no record of it was ever published. All material identified as N. orientalis was examined by the author and was found identical to N. palaestina (see records in the relevant species). Therefore no records are valid for N. orientalis in the Greek territory, at least until new data confirm its presence.

Distribution: Turkey (not Greece).
