We observed this feature in all specimens collected from 11 sites. This species is widely distributed in Turkey ( Crosskey and Zwick 2007) and also common over most of Europe, western Asia and North Africa ( Adler and Crosskey 2015). 24.05.2002 / 09.07.2003 Turkey 41.48037 Turkey 1 27.953289 0 4834 10 3 7 Other material 2002-05-24 Turkey 41.549366 Turkey 1 28.04237 0 4834 11 6 5 Other material 2002-05-24 Turkey 41.560123 Turkey 1 28.064157 0 4834 16 6 1 9 Other material 2002-05-24 Turkey 41.649822 Turkey 1 27.9673 0 4834 15 7 8 Other material 2002-05-25 Turkey 41.73845 Turkey 1 27.626734 0 4834 10 4 6 Other material 25.05.2002 / 08.07.2003 Turkey 41.781204 Turkey 1 27.705229 0 4834 12 7 5 Other material 2002-05-27 Turkey 41.802216 Turkey 1 27.454065 0 4834 4 1 3 Other material 2002-05-28 Turkey 41.94749 Turkey 1 27.061388 0 4834 9 1 3 5 Other material 2002-08-06 Turkey 40.827503 Turkey 1 27.385714 0 4834 11 5 6 Other material 2002-08-06 Turkey 40.80776 Turkey 1 27.38569 0 4834 9 5 4 Other material 2002-08-06 Turkey 40.798054 Turkey 1 27.36357 0 4834 11 3 8 Other material
