Elverici.   General distribution:Greece, Bulgaria and Macedonia (Platnick, 2012)   Comments:  Mesiotelusis represented by 15 described species, mostly known from the Mediterranean region and its peripheries; although there are representatives distributed from the Canaries to China along the southern part of the Palearctic region. The taxonomic validity of the only known species from Kenya,  Mesiotelus pocockiCaporiacco, 1949is uncertain. This problem was first raised by Marusik & Guseinov (2003). After examining the female genitalia of  M. pocockifrom illustrations and description provided by Caporiacco (1949), it is evident that the epigyne structure is simple and pentangular, well sclerotized at the margins and compressed in the middle; and thus inconsistent with the epigyne structure typical of the genus  Mesiotelus. Moreover, Bosmans et al. (2009) have stressed the necessity of a generic revision. Other species of the genus already known from Turkey are  M. annulipes(Kulczyński, 1897)and  M. tenuissimus(L.Koch, 1866). 1563872110 2010-11-20 M.
