Remarks: For description see Uvarov (1916 b, 1934) and Ünal (2012) in addition to data presented in this study. Four species of the genus; U. satunini , U. munzurensis Uluar & Yahyaoglu sp.n., U. iraka and U. bakhtiara are very similar in their features in general and considered as the Satunini Group. This group differs considerably from the Zebra Group by the male anal tergum without process but with a medial rounded or quadrangular incision, relatively weak tooth of male cerci mostly around middle (pre-medial, medial or post medial), female subgenital plate with rounded lobes. Genetic data suggested a consistent relationship with morphological data. Four species in the group differs from each other by small differences. For further evaluations see discussion below.

Material examined: Holotype male, TURKEY —road between Erzincan and Tunceli, 10 km to Pülümür, N: 39 53 224, E: 39 90 079, 1697 m, 08.07.2010 (leg E.M.

Chobanov) ( AUZM); paratype 1 female, TURKEY-Tunceli, Pülümür, Kayaçlɪ Köyü, N: 39 44 286, E:39 85 005, 08.07.2010 (leg E.M. Korkmaz). The record “ Tunceli, Ovacɪk, Karaoğlan Ormanɪ, 27.7.1954, 1 female (leg. T. Karabağ)” by Karabağ (1958) possibly indicate to this species.

Description and diagnosis: The new species shows general features of Uvarovistia as robust body, the rounded and elongated pronotum and almost totally concealed male tegmina and shares the unique homologies of the genus black abdominal terminal, genus specific titillators (with roundly curved basal arms and long and long twice curved apical arms, thick ovipositor, and large transversal female subgenital plate). Further description of the species can be found in Figures 1 View FIGURE 1 , 2 View FIGURE 2 , 3 View FIGURES 3-5 , 8 View FIGURES 6–8 , 11, 15, 20, 24, 27, 32, 34; Tables 1-4.

The new species is considered as a cryptic species that hardly can be distinguished from U. satunini by morphological features generally regarded in previous literature. It differs from the sister species mainly by the rudimentary processes of male anal tergum and weaker tooth of male cerci. But, genetic data of three mitochondrial genes clearly support it as a distinct species.Additionally, the molecular clock estimation suggests that U. munzurensis and U. satunini share a common ancestor around two million years ago and remained isolated since then (see Discussion below).

Etymology. The new species named after the type locality, Munzur Mountain Range.
