Galeodes sulfuripes Roewer, 1934

LITERATURE RECORDS: Roewer [1934]: 532 (Mesopotamien: west of Mosul); Zilch [1946]: 147 (Kleinasien: Diarbekr (w. Mossul)); El-Hennawy [1999]: 88 (Iraq); Harvey [2003]: 271 (W. Mosul, Ninawa, Iraq).

REMARKS: Zilch [1946] restricted the locality as Kleinasien: Diarbekr (w. Mossul) (now Diyarbak r, Türkiye) when Harvey [2003] restricted the locality as W. Mosul, Ninawa, Iraq and include G. sulfuripes in the species list for Iraq. And also, SMF (Forschungsinstitut und Natur-Museum Senckenberg) corrected the locality as Türkiye, Diarbekr (westl. Mossul). Thus, I accept and follow the restriction of Zilch [1946] and SMF database. Thus, I exclude this species from the checklist, until reliable evidence of its occurrence in Iraq is provided.
