Comments

This Balkanian species was recorded from Turkey once, by Lodos et al. (2003). We examined the voucher specimens and the male genital structures of the only male specimen. They show remarkably unique morphology, easily distinguishing it from all the previously described species. However, the poor condition of the specimen did not allow description of this new species.
