A reliable identification of species belonging to this group is possible only based on the male sexual characters. Regarding the shape of the aedeagus, S. goektepensis is most similar to S. balkarensis (type locality: ((lamlryayla), but distinguished from that species by the broader and ventrally straight apex (lateral view) and by the larger spines in the internal sac. From S. tuberiventris and S. wunderlei, it is readily separated by the much shorter and stouter apex of the aedeagus, and from S. brachati and S. aculeatus by the different shape of the aedeagal apex and by the presence of sclerotised spines in the internal sac, from S. aculeatus also by the completely different modifications of the male sternite VIII.</p> <p>Distribution and bionomics:</p> <p>The type localities are situated in the Goktepe Dagi, to the northwest of Erdemli in Mersin (Map 3), where the types were found at altitudes of 1380 and 1500 m.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BAAE42FF85FFD1C7F0FE02FC4FFDEC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(Figs. 6-13, Map 3)</p> <p>Type material:</p> <p>Holotype 3: Turkey (Antakya), Nur Dagl., 9 km SE Iskenderun, ca. 6 km NE Belen, N slope, snowfield edge, under stones, sifted, 1480 m, 36°31 '39"N, 36&lt;T 5 '27"E, 4.IV.2004, leg. M. Schülke [T04-10] / Holotypus 3 Sunius amanensis sp. n. det. V.</p> <p>Distribution and bionomics:</p> <p>The restricted distributions of the closely related species suggest that S. amanensis may be locally endemic in the southern Nur Daglari (Map 3). The two types were collected at the edge of a snowfield on a north slope with scattered pine trees (Fig. 13) by turning stones and sifting roots and litter at an altitude of approximately 1500 m, together with numerous specimens of Geostiba hamata A s s in g and G. helvetiorum P a c e.</p> <p>Description:</p> <p>Small species, 2.5-3.0 mm (abdomen extended). Facies and forebody as in Figs. 14-15. External appearance (coloration, shape, proportions, puncturation, microsculpture), except for the slightly shorter elytra and the slightly smaller eyes, as in S. goektepensis.</p> <p>3: posterior margin of sternite VII in the middle weakly concave and with the dark pubescence directed diagonally postero-mediad (Fig. 16); sternite VIII with moderately deep posterior emargination, otherwise unmodified (Fig. 17); aedeagus very distinctive, with characteristic subapical structures, but without basal row of large sclerotised spines in internal sac (Figs. 18-20).</p> <p>Etymology: The name (adj.) is derived from Hatay, the alternative name of the province where the type locality is situated, also referred to as Antakya.</p> <p>Comparative notes and systematics:</p> <p>Sunius hatayanus is distinguished from all other species of the genus especially by the distinctive morphology of the aedeagus. As can be inferred from the male primary and secondary sexual characters, S. hatayanus belongs to the S. tuberiventris group. It is distinguished from other Turkish representatives of this group, except S. amanensis, by the unmodified male sternite VIII. From the similar S. hypogaeus and S. renouardi from the Middle East (see notes below S. amanensis), it is distinguished by slightly larger eyes, a less oblong head, slightly shorter elytra, the absence of a basal row of sclerotised structures in the internal sac of the aedeagus, and a different shape of the aedeagus, both in lateral and in ventral view.</p> <p>16 ' 17</p> <p>Figs. 14-20: Sunius hatayanus sp. n.: faciès (14); forebody (15); &lt;? sternite VII (16); â sternite VIII (17); aedeagus in latéral and in ventral view (18-19); internai structures ofaedeagus in latéral view (20). Scale bars: 14: 1.0 mm; 15: 0.5 mm; 16-20: 0.1 mm. in dorsal view. Forebody uniformly ferrugineous. Abdominal tergum VII never with palisade fringe at posterior margin, d: sternite VII not or only weakly modified; sternite VIII in posterior median area with densely pubescent tubercle, with conspicuous process, or without such modifications.
