Perla pallida Guérin-Méneville, 1838 (Type 1, sensu Sivec & Stark 2002)

All specimens of P. pallida reported from Anatolia by Sivec & Stark (2002) are assigned to the same form as topotypes (Type 1) and the European and North African specimens are all assigned to different forms in the same complex; therefore we prefer to consider that only one form of P. pallida occurs in Anatolia, Armenia and Caucasus, corresponding to the Type 1.
