Remarks. Kimsey & Bohart (1991) placed Cleptes turceyanus Linsenmaier in the semiauratus species group. Móczár (2001) added some diagnostic features to the description of the male. The female is still unknown.

Móczár (2001) reported that the Budapest museum is the type depository of the holotype. However, Linsenmaier (1968) stated that the type depository was his private collection and paratypes were deposited in Linz, and for this reason Zoltán Vas , the curator of the Budapest museum, kindly sent back the holotype to the Natur–Museum Luzern .
