Remarks. Two males from Malatya in the NMW were labelled as “Cotypes” but, Stål (1876) described it from Amasya. Thus, specimens from Malatya cannot be syntypes.
There is a mistake on the description date of this taxon in most of the publications since Kirby’s (1910) catalogue in which the error was seen for the first time, as the year 1878. But Stål described this species in his paper published in 1876: 4(5): 28 [not in 1878: 5(4): 28].
