( Figs. 55–56 )

Material examined. Antalya, Gündoğmuş, Geyik Dağları, Susambeli , 2265 m, 2.7.2019, 1 male, 3 females, 2300 m, 26.6.2018, 1 female (in alcohol), 2273 m, 21.8.2018, 1 male, 1 female, 13– 14.7.2017, 2 females, 20.9.2017, 1 female ; Gündoğmuş, Geyik Dağları, Namaras yaylası-Karabul yaylası, 2190 m, 13.7.2017, 1 female, 2125 m, 26– 27.6.2018, 4 females ; Konya, Seydişehir, Taraşcı, Rezebeli , 1960–1990 m, 3.7.2015, 1 female (leg. M. Ünal) (AİBÜEM) .

Remarks. The distribution of this species has been expanded eastwards up to Geyik Mountains ( Fig. 56 ) above Gündoğmuş District with these new records.

Nocaracris bicoloripes and N. citripes are recorded from new locations relatively far from their type localities. Therefore, it was surprising to find them from the Geyik Mountain and Akdağ.The characteristics of new populations perfectly correspond with the typical ones. They now have a larger distributional area compared with some other species of the genus.
