Platycleis (Platycleis) intermedia intermedia (Serville, 1839)

(®gures 4, 9, 12)

Decticus intermedius Serville, 1839: 488 .

Syntypes of both sexes: FRANCE, Montpellier and Chateau-Gombert (lost) .

Distribution. Mediterranean region and adjacent parts of Europe and Asia up to China.

Remarks. Platycleis intermedia mesopotamica Ramme, 1927 diOEers from the nominate subspecies by two swellings on the VI sternite of female, somewhat as seen in the VII sternite. It was recorded from south-eastern Anatolia ( Ramme, 1951; KarabagÏ, 1958). However, two subspecies, intermedia intermedia and intermedia mesopotamica, are often recorded from the same localities (KarabagÏ, 1958). During this study, females with modi®ed and unmodi®ed VI sternite were observed at the same localities (e.g. Malatya, KahramanmarasË). However, the specimens from Mesopotamian part of Turkey (Diyarbakõr and SËanlõurfa) show the character of the nominate subspecies and this character does not occur as consistent variation in Anatolian population. Additionally, the protuberances of VI sternite are indistinct in Anatolian population and well developed in type specimens. Thus, all specimens included in this study belong to P. intermedia intermedia .

Turkish sound record. Naskrecki and Otte (1999b) OSF online 11 August 1999; the characteristic song of P. intermedia was observed at the following localities: Bursa, Ulufer CË ayõ south of UludagÏ, 400 and 800 m; Erzurum, pass north-west of IÇspir, 1400 m; Erzurum, CË oruh valley 35 km north-east of IÇspir, 900 m (Heller, unpublished data) .
