Anadolua schwarzi schwarzi Ramme, 1939

( Figs. 157–158 , 321–323 )

Material examined. Turkey: SW Anatolien, [Muğla Prov.], Koycegiz, Sandras Dagh, 2600 m, 7.1938, 1 male (holotype) (leg. Schwarz) ( MfN); Muğla Prov., Köyceğiz , Akköprü , 966 m, 24.8.2022, 1 male (leg. A.T. Kaygın); İzmir Prov., ÖdemiŞ, Bıçakçı, 29.6.2022, 1 male ; Aydın Prov., Kuyucak, Belenova , 10.8.2023, 1 female (leg. H. Ulusoy) ( AİBÜEM) .

Remarks. A mistake made by the author ( Ünal 2018) should be corrected here: Anadolua schwarzi was described based on a male from Sandras Dağ (Muğla, Köyceğiz) ( Ramme 1939: 87). Therefore, this male is the single type (holotype), and there is no other type specimen. Ramme (1951: 362) described a single female as the female sex of A. schwarzi , which is not a type of this species. Later, Karabağ (1952: 143) described this female as a new species, Anadolua rammei Karabağ, 1952 , which is the holotype of A. rammei . Therefore, this female is not a paratype of A. schwarzi , contrary to the remarks by Ünal (2018).

Anadolua rammei Karabağ, 1952 was described from Aksehir-Göl [AkŞehir] from a single female ( Karabağ 1952: 143). It was synonymized with A. burri by the author ( Ünal 2018). Şirin et al. (2024: 231) recently described a new species from the type locality of A. rammei, AkŞehir (Sultandağı) , Anadolua moli . With the addition of this species, the number of Anadolua species recorded from this mountain (Sultandağları) is 4, which seems unlikely for this genus. The author ( Ünal 2018) studied some specimens of A. schwarzi from Gelincikana Tepesi (in the same mountain ridge, Sultandağları), which is very near to the type localities of A. rammei and A. moli . The specimens of the author ( Ünal 2018) and the description of A. moli completely match, and there is no doubt that they are the same taxon. Şirin et al. (2024) separated it from A. schwarzi by the measurements of male cerci and hind femur, and the song character. In my opinion, these populations from Sultandağları are morphologically A. schwarzi and are indistinguishable from A. moli . However, the song character of A. moli was given as a more distinctive character. While the phrase of A. moli is composed of a double-syllable group series, which is a triple-syllable group series in A. schwarzi ( Şirin et al. 2024) . However, the song of A. rammei is unknown, suggesting it may be a valid species. It should be kept in mind that, as of the morphological characters, the song characters can also be variable (pers. commun. D. Ragge).

A. moli shares the type locality, AkŞehir District, with A. rammei (= A. burri ) as congeneric partners, or is a synonym of A. rammei or A. schwarzi .
