Metopoplax ditomoides View in CoL (A. Costa, 1847)

Comments

A West Mediterranean species that was recorded from Kırşehir and Çankırı ( Özsaraç 2004; Yazıcı et al. 2022). These records most probably refer to M. origani (Kolenati, 1845) , a species similar to M. ditomoides but widely distributed in Turkey. Therefore, M. ditomoides is excluded from the Heteroptera checklist of Turkey.
