Comments

Amblytylus jani is a West Mediterranean species with records from Crete in the East Mediterranean region. This species was recorded from Gaziantep by Lodos et al. (2003). A re-examination of the only collected specimen revealed that it was a female and a reliable identification to species level was not possible. Hence this species is excluded from the checklist of Heteroptera species of Turkey.
