Siphonoperla gr libanica – burmeisteri

In a revision of Siphonoperla by Graf & Vinçon in preparation, S. burmeisteri (Pictet, 1841) and S. libanica Alouf, 1992 will be excluded from the Turkish fauna. In this work, the supposed specimens of S. burmeisteri from central Taurus (Adana, Zwick 1971) are assigned to a new species, close to S. libanica Alouf, 1992 that we herein designate as S. gr. libanica sp. 1. Other specimens from eastern Anatolia (Theischinger 1976a, 1976b) probably correspond to S. hajastanica (Zhiltzova, 1961) . Other specimens from Konya will be assigned to another new species that we herein designate as S. gr. libanica sp. 2 and those occurring in the Edremit region will be assigned to a new subspecies that we herein designate as S. gr. libanica ssp. 3.
