Holotype female collected on <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=39.525276&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=39.63778" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 39.525276/lat 39.63778)">Ergan Mountain</a>, Erzincan Province, Turkey (39°38′16″N, 39°31′31″E, 1328 m, 06.11.2012, leg. S. Adil). One paratype: same data as for holotype but collected 21.11.2011. Six larvae obtained from holotype females by experimental rearing. The type material and other specimens were deposited in the collection of the Biology Department, Erzincan University, Erzincan, Turkey.</p> <p>Distribution. Turkey.</p> <p>Biology. The sampling area is characterized by forest and grass. A female, after being collected in the field (21 November 2011), laid eggs on the 22nd day of being kept under laboratory conditions; no larvae were obtained because the eggs were contaminated with mold. Another female (holotype) collected from the same field at a different time (6 November 2012) laid eggs on the 18th day of being kept under laboratory conditions (24 November). The eggs were spherical and clustered in 1 package. Although the eggs were also moldy, 10 days later (4 December) they turned into prelarvae; 6 larvae were obtained and transferred to alcohol (25 December).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/916187D2FF93FFC01EAC79B8EABFE179	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
