Literature records

Popov (1967, as A. leucorhina Morawitz, 1876 View in CoL ); Khodarahmi Ghahnavieh & Monfared (2019, as A. osychniukae Osytshnjuk, 1977 View in CoL ).

Remarks

The taxonomic status of A. abbreviata is not completely clear, as many similar taxa have been described ( Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002). Though female specimens are quite variable, the male genital capsule is extremely similar if not identical across its distributional range. In the absence of genetic revisionary work, the broad species concept as shown in the distributional map presented by Gusenleitner & Schwarz (2002) is adopted here.

Distribution

South-eastern Europe, Ukraine, Russia (European part), Turkey, Cyprus, Levant, Caucasus, Iran, Kazakhstan ( Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002; Proshchalykin et al. 2017a).
