Eupholidoptera karabagi Salman, 1983

( Fig. 307 )

Material examined. Turkey: Gjöl-bashi [Antalya Prov., Kale, Davazlar Köyü], 1882, 1 female (leg. Luschan) ( NMW) .

Remarks. This single female has a paratype label of E. spinigera ( Ramme, 1930) , which is the standard type label of Ramme. In the original description of E. spinigera, Ramme (1930: 818-819) stated that a female collected from Gjöl Banhi, in the Vienna Museum, most likely belongs to E. spinigera . But none of the subsequent authors have considered Ramme’s note and have included E. spinigera in Turkish fauna. This is correct in the present day because it appears from the current study that this female is E. karabagi .

Salman (1983: 334) gave Willemse’s (1980) E. prasina record from Greece as a misidentification of E. karabagi . He showed Figure 189 on page 64 of Willemse as the evidence. But this figure belongs to the holotype of E. prasina , and figure 190 ( Willemse 1980: 64) belongs to a non-type male of E. prasina from Khios. Both are, in fact, in the variation range of E. prasina . The titillator of E. karabagi ( Fig. 307 ) is as given in Salman (1983: 332, fig. 69), and it differs by the slender apical arm with almost parallel sides. In E. prasina , the titillator ( Fig. 306 ) with an apical arm is distinctly narrowed at the base and elliptically widened in the apical part ( Figs. 306, 307 ).
