Acupalpus (Acupalpus) paludicola REITTER 1884

G e n e r a l d i s t r i b u t i o n: Italy, Balkan Peninsula, Middle East, Transcaucasia.

D i s t r i b u t i o n i n M i d d l e E a s t: So far recorded from Israel ( REITTER 1884: 75, JAEGER 1989: 147, JAEGER 1992: 226) and Turkey ( APFELBECK 1904: 205, SAHLBERG 1913: 31, JAEGER 1989: 147, 1992: 226, 1999: 961). One additional record from Syria, Sanamein [= As Sanamayn] ( SAHLBERG 1913: 31) is doubtful because of possible confusion with A. turcicus JAEGER and A. schnitteri JAEGER.

The following additional material from Israel and Turkey, including first records for the Turkish provinces Ankara and Sinop, have been examined.
