Eupholidoptera anatolica (Ramme, 1930)

Distribution. This interesting species is endemic to Anatolia. It was recorded only from Antalya and Mersin provinces of Turkey ( Figure 6A ) ( Ramme 1951; Karabağ 1958; Çıplak et al. 2009; Çıplak et al. 2010).

Song recording. Male specimens collected from Turkey, Antalya, Termessos ancient city, Güllükdağı Moun- tains, 36°59.03’ N, 030°27.47’ E, 1036 m, 04.VII.2015 (by D. Şirin, M.S. Taylan & A. Mol) and calling song re- corded from three males at 29 °C in the field (by D. Şirin & M.S. Taylan).

Description of song. Nine records from three males were evaluated. The calling song consists of a series of regular syllables ( Figure 6B ) with interval of 240–408 ms (284.80 ± 20.85). Syllable duration varies between 90 and 126 ms (115.87 ± 5.63). A syllable includes two elements ( Figure 6C ). First element is a pulse like quieter part which lasts for 11–16 ms (13.15 ± 0.98) and the second element is a louder part and follows the first one without any intervals. The duration of the second element varies between 92–110 ms (97.19 ± 2.85).
