Other known localities: Ünal (2006; as Eupholidoptera raggei );

Distribution: The range of this species covers the western part of the Kahramanmaras and east/ northeastern part of Adana provinces of Turkey in Eastern Mediterranean Turkey.

Remarks: Both E. marashensis and E. raggei were described by Salman (1983) from neighbouring areas in the eastern part of Mediterranean Anatolia (Adana and Kahramanmaras provinces) and diagnosed according to the size of the titillators. Recently collected material from an area between the two type localities of E. marashensis and E. raggei (Saimbeyli-Adana) showed intermediate characteristics. Thus, both names are assumed to in fact represent a single species. Since in the original descriptions both male and female of E. marashensis were described but of E. raggei only the male, the first name is retained and the second is placed in synonymy with the first.

Distribution: This species is endemic to the island of Karpathos in the southern Aegean.

Remarks: This species was originally described as Pholidoptera (Eupholidoptera) uvarovi by Karabaǧ (1952b). Later, Harz (1969) transferred it to Uvarovistia and established the new subgenus Karabagia to include this species since the last 2–3 abdominal tergits of E. uvarovi are black as in Uvarovistia . However, other features of the species, especially those of the male subgenital plate and cerci, are similar to the species of the E. chabrieri group. Thus, this species is included in Eupholidoptera as suggested in the original description ( Karabaǧ, 1952b).
