Remarks. Şirin et al. (2024) synonymized A. burri with A. schwarzi based on morphological and song characteristics. The primary reason for this synonymy was the specimens collected from the type locality of A. burri in Denizli, Babadağ, during two visits by Şirin et al. (pers. Commun. D. Şirin). They misidentified these specimens as A. burri when in fact they belonged to A. schwarzi . Due to this misinterpretation, Şirin et al. synonymized A. burri with A. schwarzi . However, it is noteworthy that both A. burri and A. schwarzi were found together at the type locality of A. burri in Babadağ ( Karabağ 1952; Ünal 2018: 14), a fact that Şirin et al. (2024) did not take into account, despite citing these records. Furthermore, they identified and described a new species, A. bergeri , from populations of the true A. burri , which were collected from Rezebeli (Konya: SeydiŞehir, TaraŞçı) and Susambeli (Antalya, GündoğmuŞ).

Alongside the records of A. schwarzi and A. burri in Babadağ, similar syntopies are also observed in various locations. For example, A. schwarzi and A. burri were found as congeneric partners in Gömbe, Antalya ( Ünal 2018: 14). Additionally, A. schwarzi and A. davisi were recorded in Bozdağ, İzmir ( Karabağ 1952; Ünal 2018), which is the type locality for A. davisi .

Ünal (2018: 15) identified A. burri in both localities of A. bergeri, Rezebeli and Susambeli. According to Şirin et al. (2024: 226), they examined photographs of the male holotype and one female paratype of A. burri ; however, it appears that the images they reviewed were not clear enough to draw a conclusion. In contrast, the author of the present paper thoroughly studied and compared all available material, including the type specimens of A. schwarzi and A. rammei at the Museum für Naturkunde (MfN), as well as A. burri and A. davisi at the Natural History Museum (NHM) ( Ünal 2018).

As demonstrated in Figures 157–158 and 161–162 of the current paper, alongside the figures from Ünal (2018), it is evident that A. schwarzi and A. burri are two distinct species within the genus. The holotype (male) of A. burri , collected from Babadağ (Denizli) (NHM), can be clearly distinguished from the holotype of A. schwarzi (MfN) and the single male of A. schwarzi , also collected from Babadağ (NHM).

When comparing figures 25 and 221 from Ünal (2018), the latter belonging to the holotype of A. burri , with Fig. 9j of A. bergeri from Şirin et al. (2024), it becomes apparent that the male cercus is identical. Anadolua burri possesses unique morphological characteristics, such as seen in the male cercus ( Fig. 161 ), titillators ( Fig. 162 ), and the female subgenital plate. Additionally, all the other populations given in Ünal (2018) are recognizable. Therefore, Anadolua burri is validated as a species, while Anadolua bergeri is considered a junior synonym of it.
