Identification of C. nordmanni . Two syntypes ( ZISP 942) and other existing specimens studied by A. A. Birula in 1899–1917 ( ZISP, GNM) were not available for this study. We, however, examined 10 specimens of C. nordmanni , including eight from the area between Demirkent and Tortum. This area (see map in Fig. 39 View Figure 39 ) is close to the localities originally listed by Birula (1899, 1900, 1912, 1917a, 1917b), and is well removed from the known ranges of C. birulai sp. nov. and C. gruberi sp. nov. Morphology of our specimens is consistent with the detailed illustrations and description provided by Vachon (1971), based on a single male specimen from Lomashen near Artvin, which belongs to the original Birula collection ( ZISP 1395). In particular, our specimens match the movable finger dentition of six ID and seven MD denticle groups ( Fig. 25 View Figure 25 ); the trichobothrial pattern also matches, trichobothrium dst located much closer to dt than db. See full trichobothrial pattern for this species in Figure 41 View Figure 41 . The overall telson structure is consistent with Birula’s (1917a: fig. 13; 1917b: Pl. II, figs. 6–7) description ( Figs. 28–31 View Figures 26–31 ), and the coloration and patterns seen in two studied females ( Fig. 40 View Figure 40 ) is as described by Birula (1917a, 1917b). Finally, the pectinal tooth counts, male and female, are consistent with those reported by Birula (1917a, 1917b) ( Fig. 36 View Figure 36 ).

Etymology. Species name is a patronym honoring the famous Russian scorpiologist, Alexei Andreevich Byalynitskii-Birula (A. A. Birula) (1864–1937),
formerly of the Zoological Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia, the discoverer of Calchas .
MALE. Description based on holotype male from Mardin, Turkey. Measurements of the holotype plus three other specimens are presented in Table 3. See Figure 43 View Figure 43 for a dorsal view of the male holotype .
COLORATION. Basic color of carapace, mesosoma, metasoma, pedipalps yellow-orange; telson and legs yellow; carinae of pedipalps and metasoma, and leg condyles reddish; chelal finger dentition and telson aculeus a dark brown. No variegated patterns present.
CARAPACE ( Fig. 44 View Figures 44–53 ). Anterior edge with a small median indentation, five small irregularly placed setae visible; interocular area somewhat rough with scatter granulation, though smooth around the immediate area of the median eyes; posterior lateral aspects covered with medium to large granules. Anterior and lateral edges next to lateral eyes with small but conspicuous pointed granules. Mediolateral ocular carinae present and granular, extending to the lateral eyes; lateral eyes number two, the posterior eye slightly larger. Median eyes and tubercle somewhat small, positioned considerably anterior of middle with the following length and width formulas: 100|335 (anterior edge to medium tubercle middle |carapace length) and 40|250 (width of median tubercle including eyes| width of carapace at that point).
MESOSOMA ( Fig. 46 View Figures 44–53 ). Tergites I–II granulated on extreme posterior edge, III–VI with heavier granulation, primarily on posterior half; tergite VII covered with coarse granules with two pairs of granulate carinae. Sternites III–VI smooth and lustrous, VII surface rough; on segment VII, one pair of irregularly granulated lateral carinae and one median pair essentially obsolete with some traces present posteriorly. Stigmata ( Fig. 46 View Figures 44–53 ) are short sub-oval in shape, angled 45 degrees in an anterointernal direction.
METASOMA ( Figs. 49–50 View Figures 44–53 ). Segments I–IV: dorsal and dorsolateral carinae crenulate; dorsal (I–IV) and dorsolateral (I–III) carinae terminate with spine; lateral carinae crenulate on I, present on one-half of II, on 30 % of III, and absent on IV; ventrolateral and ventromedian carinae crenulate. Dorsolateral carinae of segment IV terminate at articulation condyle. Segment V: dorsolateral carinae crenulate; lateral carinae crenulate for two-thirds of posterior aspect; ventrolateral and single ventromedian carinae crenulate; ventromedian carina not bifurcated, terminating in straight line ( Fig. 50 View Figures 44–53 ). Intercarinal areas of segments I–IV essentially smooth ventrally, with scattered granulation laterally; segment V

with heavy granulation on ventral surface. Metasoma essentially void of setation.
TELSON ( Figs. 49–50, 51 View Figures 44–53 , paratype female from Mardin). Elongated vesicle with short abruptly curved aculeus. Vesicle ventral surface covered with medium sized granules, heavier basally; scattered setae located on ventral surface of vesicle; subaculear setal pair (SSP) located on base of aculeus, distal of vesicle/aculeus juncture.
PECTINES ( Fig. 47 View Figures 44–53 ). Well-developed segments exhibiting length|width formula 340|190 (length taken at anterior lamellae|width at widest point including teeth). Sclerite construction complex, three anterior lamellae and 4/4 middle lamellae; fulcra of medium development. Teeth number 6/6. Sensory areas developed along most of tooth inner length on all teeth, including basal tooth. Small white setae found on anterior lamellae and distal pectinal tooth. Basal piece large, with deep indentation along anterior edge, length| width formula 80|115.
PREPECTINAL PLATE ( Fig. 47 View Figures 44–53 ). Not present in male (see discussion on female below).
GENITAL OPERCULUM ( Fig. 47 View Figures 44–53 ). Sclerites large, subtriangular, approximately as wide as long, separated for most of length. Conspicuous genital papillae present between the sclerites, but not extending beyond the posterior edge (see discussion on female below).
STERNUM ( Fig. 47 View Figures 44–53 ). Type 2, posterior emargination present, well-defined convex lateral lobes, apex visible but not conspicuous; wider than long, length|width formula 85|135; sclerite tapers anteriorly, posterior-width| anterior-width formula 135|108.
CHELICERAE ( Fig. 53 View Figures 44–53 , female). Movable finger dorsal edge with one large subdistal (sd) denticle; ventral edge with two small pigmented crenulations (va) on the distal half, and one large pigmented accessory denticle at finger base; ventral edge with heavy setal brush covering well-developed serrula with over 20 contiguous tines, terminating just before distal tip. Ventral distal denticle (vd) considerably longer than dorsal (dd). Fixed finger with four denticles, median (m) and basal (b) denticles conjoined on common trunk; no ventral accessory denticles present.
PEDIPALPS ( Figs. 48 View Figures 44–53 , 54 View Figure 54 ). Short fingered, strong chelae, heavily carinated, no scalloping on chelal fingers, thus not exhibiting sexual dimorphism in this structure. Femur: Dorsointernal and ventrointernal carinae serrate, dorsoexternal carina crenulate, ventroexternal rounded. Dorsal and internal surfaces sparsely granulate, ventral smooth, and external surface with line of serrate granules. Patella: Dorsointernal and ventrointernal carinae serrate, dorsoexternal granulate, ventroexternal rough rounded, and exteromedian carina granulate. Dorsal, ventral, and external surfaces smooth; external surface with granulate exteromedian carina; internal surface smooth except for weakly developed doubled DPS and single VPS. Chelal carinae: Complies with the “8-carinae configuration”. Digital (D1) carina strong, smooth to granulate; dorsosecondary (D3) present on basal half only, smooth; dorsomarginal (D4) rounded, continuous, with granules; dorsointernal (D5) weak, sparsely granulated; ventroexternal (V1) strong and granulated proximally, terminating at external condyle of movable finger; ventrointernal (V3) strong and smooth, continuous to internal condyle; external (E) strong, continuous, essentially smooth except for proximal one-fifth which is granulate; internal (I) weak, rounded, not continuous, with small granules. Chelal finger dentition ( Fig. 48 View Figures 44–53 ): median denticle (MD) row groups oblique and slighting imbricating, numbering 6/6 and 7/7 on fixed and movable fingers; 5/5 and 6/6 internal denticles (ID) and 5/5 and 6/6 outer denticles (OD) on fixed and movable fingers, respectively. No accessory denticles present. Number of MD denticles on movable finger is 55. Trichobothrial patterns ( Fig. 54 View Figure 54 ): Type C, orthobothriotaxic. See discussion of trichobothria differences between Calchas species which highlights the pattern of this male type.
LEGS ( Fig. 45 View Figures 44–53 ). Both pedal spurs present on all legs; tibial spurs present on legs III and IV. Tarsus covered heavily with large socketed setae on ventral surface.
HEMISPERMATOPHORE ( FIG View Figure 55 . 55). In Figure 55 View Figure 55 the right hemispermatophore ventral view is illustrated. It is consistent with the C. birulai hemispermatophore described in detail elsewhere. The overall structure is simplistic with a straight, parallel, and somewhat wide lamina terminating in a blunt, slightly tapered distal tip. The distal tip is thickened on the external edge exhibiting a slight sclerotization. The lamina base lacks a basal constriction but a slight angled expansion is visible just proximally of the lamina midpoint. At the lamina base is a nonpigmented, slightly sclerotized thin pointed internal protuberance. Emanating from the internal aspect of the capsular area is a highly pigmented sclerotized acuminate process terminating in a delicately truncated point.
Female Paratype (Mardin, Turkey, Figs. 51–53 View Figures 44–53 ). Adult females are approximately the same size as the male, 24.60–27.00 [2] for males, compared to 25.90– 28.00 [2] for females. The genders do not exhibit any significant morphometric differences except for the carapace length, which is relatively larger in the female; the female carapace length dominated in every possible ratio calculation. Pectinal tooth counts in the male exceed the female by one tooth over 80 % of the samples, male 5–6 (5.97) [30], female 5–6 (5.15) [26] (see histograms in Fig. 36 View Figure 36 ). The genital operculum of the male is dramatically different from that in the female ( Figs. 47, 52 View Figures 44–53 ). The sclerites, subtriangular in shape, are as long as or longer than wide in the male, whereas in the female the sclerites are short and wide, more than twice as wide as long. Whereas the sclerites are fused medially in the female, they are separated their entire length in the male, exposing significantly developed genital papillae. The prepectinal plate, so conspicuous in the female, is absent in males ( Figs. 47, 52 View Figures 44–53 ). Figures 56– 58 View Figure 56 View Figure 57 View Figure 58 show dorsal and ventral views of both male and female specimens, and a locality area (Birecik, Turkey) for this species.
