Distribution. Turkey ( Doġan & Ayyıldız 2003b; Doġan 2005, 2007; Erman et al. 2007; Akyol 2007).

Remarks. This species, known only from Turkey, can be distinguished from others by the shape of the dorsal dimples and dorsal setae, and the numbers of femoral and paragenital setae. General features of our specimens identified as E. turcicus are as in the type specimens. However, they have ornamentations on striated integument between the prodorsal and hysterosomal shield ( Figure 14 ).
