( Fig. 1 )

Material examined. TURKEY: Gümü ş hane: 2 exs., ca. 25 km SW Gümüşhane, Tersundaġı Geçidi, 40°18’N, 39°18’E, 2070 m, N-slope, spruce forest, litter and dead wood sifted, 24.VII.2006, leg. Assing (cAss); Konya: 1 ex., Akşehir env., "Sultan Dagh", 8.V.1960, leg. Petrowitz & Ressl ( NHMW); 1 ex., Akşehir env., "Sultan Dagh", 6.V.1960, leg. Petrowitz & Ressl (cAss).

Comment. This very recently described species was previously known only from two localities in southwestern and central southern Anatolia (Muġla, Mersin) ( Assing 2006a). The record from northeastern Anatolia suggests that it is probably widespread in Turkey ( Fig. 1 ).
