Comments. We must note that the non type specimens identified by Sugonjaev as M. turanicus lutescens Sugionjaev, 1976 examined by first author, actually belong to M. kuwanai . Later M. turanicus lutescens was treated under M. turanicus by NOYES (2015). Thus the true identification of M. turanicus lutescens needs further investigation.
