Heller, 2 males recorded. The males were active at night and produced short echemes with a duration of 0.4�� 0.1 s (n=54; range 0.25��� 0.63 s; Fig. 8). During the recording sessions always at least two males were in acoustical contact. In this situation the echemes were often arranged in groups with two or more males alternating. However, occasionally also isolated echemes were heard (duration of intervals 3.9�� 8.1s, range 0.2���47s, n=45). An echeme contained on average 9 syllables (SRR 20.2 Hz; T =25���26��C). The syllables had a duration of 30.6��3.8 ms (n=13) and contained 5.1��1.1 (n=13) impulses (Fig. 7) resulting in a mean interval of 7.8 ms between the impulses. Sometimes intrasyllable gaps were as large as the gaps between the syllables. At 20��C the SRR was only 15.3 Hz and the syllables had a duration of about 40.6��3.9 ms (n=9). The spectrum of the song had its peak near 30 kHz (Fig. 9).

Poecilimon pechevi Andreeva, 1978 Song recordings: BULGARIA / NORTH MACEDONIA border area: Vlakhina Mt., Kadiytsa summit, above the tree line (F. sylvatica), 04.– 05.08.2006, 1700–1800 m alt. (41.77653ºN, 22.97026ºE), mesophytic herb and grass associations (Chamaecytisus sp., Hypericum sp., Vaccinium sp., Thymus sp., Rubus idaeus, etc.), leg. Chobanov, 3 males recorded. NORTH MACEDONIA: Vlakhina Mts., Kadiytsa summit, 1890 m (N41.78815, E22.96332)– 1930 m (41.78914ºN, 22.96490ºE), open meadows, 27.07.2019, leg. Chobanov, 1 male recorded. Depending on the temperature the males are usually active at night and produced series of syllables with a duration of 4.3± 1.3 s (n=32; range 1.2– 8.1 s) at intervals of 11.8± 7.6 s (n=15) (Fig. 6). After a short, soft and irregular beginning ca. 46 syllables followed (SRR 10.7 Hz; T =25–27ºC). The syllables had a duration of 73±7.9 ms (n=18) and contained 13.1±2.2 (n=18) impulses, resulting in a mean interval of 6.1 ms between the impulses. The largest intra-syllable impulse intervals, however, were nearly as large as the intervals between the syllables (e.g. 16 vs. 20 ms, 14 vs. 18 ms or 15 vs. 20 ms). The spectrum of the song had its peak near 30 kHz (Fig. 9). Redescription. Studied material.

Chobanov, NMNHS & CC. Note: Andreeva (1978) presents a detailed but insufficient description of a new species, Poecilimon pechevi. The figures in the latter publication are quite schematic and, as found later, somewhat incorrect. The differential diagnosis is too brief and the new species is compared only with P. zwicki Ramme, 1933. Actually, from the figure of the apical part of cerci (Andreeva 1978: Plate I, 5), a similarity with P. ampliatus may be observed. As a result, P. pechevi remained a taxon with unclear status and position within the genus Poecilimon. Furthermore, its isolated population and local endemic status required definition of its conservation importance. Small, stocky build, with moderately shiny integument. Measurements as shown by Andreeva (1978) or also slightly smaller. Male (Fig. 3a, b, d, e). The fastigium verticis is half the width of the scapus, equal or wider and slightly longer than the second antennal limb, with parallel sides, moderately projecting fore- and upward. The pronotum is widest in its middle, the metazone is moderately dome-shaped bulging and slightly constricted backwards; its hind margin is concave. The mid sulcus passes just before the middle of pronotum. The lateral plates of pronotum have rounded corners. The acoustic stigma has small aperture. The tegmina are slightly covered by pronotum (Diagnosis. P. pechevi belongs to the Poecilimon ampliatus group, as defined by Heller & Lehmann (2004). It is most similar to P. ebneri by sharing various synapomorphies as the general coloration and body shape, the number of stridulatory teeth, and especially the shape of female lamella. On the other hand, similarities exist with P. ampliatus in the shape of male cerci, in P. pechevi cerci being slightly shorter and thicker. Male calling song is typical for the group and strongly resembles the song of both P. ebneri and P. ampliatus (compare Heller 1988; Heller & Lehmann 2004). The most important difference between P. pechevi and P. ampliatus is the presence of a glandular bulge at the first abdominal tergite of the latter, which is thus an autapomorphy of P. ampliatus. Other differences from P. ampliatus include: 1) the colouration of P. pechevi is paler, similar to that of P. ebneri; 2) lower number of stridulatory teeth (68–73 against 95 in ampliatus; but see below and Anichini et al. 2016); 3) the differences in song are weak (as typical for the group in general). Differences from P. ebneri include mainly male cerci. In P. pechevi cerci are very short and bulky with sinuate outcurved apex bearing a single hook-shaped tooth, while in P. ebneri cerci are longer, tip is gently incurved and bearing usually two (rarely 1 to 4) pointed teeth (compare with Heller & Lehmann 2004). Female lamella in P. pechevi closely resembles P. ebneri and P. ampliatus (compare Fig. 2A, B in Heller & Lehmann 2004; errors exist in the legend of that plate and Figs 2–5 should be read as 2— P. ebneri, 3— P. marmaraensis, 4— P. amissus and 5— P. intermedius) being dorso-ventrally flattened and triangularly pointed at the lower part of gonangulum.. Distribution, conservation importance and biological remarks. P. pechevi occurs only on Vlakhina Mountain, at the border between Bulgaria and North Macedonia, where it is found only on the summit of Kadiytsa. The latter strikingly dominates the landscape, rising from the surrounding crests of 1700–1750 m to 1924 m. The species is a local endemic for the pseudosubalpine meadows at Kadiytsa summit, unique for the central part of the Ossogovo-Ograzhden mountain group. The habitat appears to be naturally climatically deforested and belongs to habitat types 62D0 and 4060 (http://natura2000.moew.government.bg/Home/ProtectedSite?code=BG0000366&sit eType=HabitatDirective). Its vegetation was determined as grass formations (Agrostideta capillaries, Nardeta strictae, Bellardiochloeta violaceae) replacing forests of Fagus sylvatica and Abies alba (Bondev 1991). The occupied habitat is estimated to cover about 10 square km and is subjected to a disturbance by fruit pickers during the blueberry season. Recently, a significant pressure from cattle overgrazing was observed that visibly changed the habitat quality. P. pechevi keeps into meso- and xeromesophyte grass associations and within tufts of small bushes of Chamaecytisus, even completely isolated from the neighbouring vegetation by soil patches with xeric character, between 1700 and 1900 m altitude. During the summer months the animals become active after dark (in the beginning of August higher activity was observed after 10 p. m.), while in the morning they dart within the vegetation where spend the day. Earlier in the year and during cool days the animals are active throughout the day. The nymphs emerge in May and the imagines occur from July to late August., Published as part of Chobanov, Dragan P., Sevgili, Hasan & Heller, Klaus-Gerhard, 2020, Bioacoustics of poorly known Poecilimon taxa (Insecta: Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae with redescriptions of P. pechevi and P. stschelkanovzevi, pp. 535-553 in Zootaxa 4890 (4) on pages 538-544, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4890.4.6, http://zenodo.org/record/4306571, {"references":["Andreeva, E.

The stridulatory area is bulged over the costal area and has pronounced strongly chitinized venation. The stridulatory vein is covered by the pronotum, massive and long. The stridulatory file (Fig. 4i) measures 2.56 mm in length (shortest distance between ends) and 0.12 mm in its widest point. The file bears 132 teeth, clearly separated to a basal part of 1.34 mm with 45 wide, sparse teeth, enlarging towards the middle, and an apical part of 1.34 mm with 87 finer dense teeth. Both parts are separated by a step-like descent from the basal to the apical part. Legs quite long, fore and mid femora much longer than pronotum (ca. 7.7–8 mm). Hind femora lack spines on their ventral keels. Hind margins of the abdominal tergites are not protruded. The epiproct is broader than long. The cerci (Fig. 4f) are comparatively long, slightly incurved, tapering almost to the tip, when they are strongly incurved and widened. Their apical part ends with a short, wide, decurved spine spine. The subgenital plate is short, slightly tapering to the tip, where it has a shallow rectangular incision. Coloration. The body of the dried specimens is pale, yellowish, though living animals are possibly fresh green or yellowish-green with large rusty-brown speckles. A thin whitish band passes along the middle of the vertex, occiput and the distal part of tergites. The sides of metazone are bordered by a reddish band. Pale light bands pass over the sides of the reddish band of pronotum and continues on the abdominal tergites, where it is much sharper and bordered by black on both sides. The tegmina are yellowish with dark stridulatory area on which yellow veins are sharply visible. All femora with dark colored ventral keels. Female (Fig. 4d, e, g, h, j). The fastigium is wider than in the male – almost as wide as scapus. The pronotum is almost cylindrical, longer then in male, with a long metazone, almost entirely covering the large tegmina. The tegmina (Fig. 4e, j) are roundish, the left tegmen bearing a well-developed stridulatory apparatus with at least four proximal rows of parallel spines and a large distal area of circular spines. The epiproct is broader than long. The cerci are conical, in- and decurved, slightly longer than the epiproct. The subgenital plate (Fig. 4g) is half as long as wide, widely rounded, with a small triangular projection at the apex. Ovipositor short with the basal fold of the upper edge of lower ovipositor valve (lamella) forming typical roundish projection (Fig. 4h). Coloration. Similar to the male. Diagnosis. Bey-Bienko (1954) compares this species with P. thoracicus (Fieber, 1853), rejecting close relationships between both due to the difference in the coloration of male tegmina. On the other hand, the shape of male pronotum and cerci, the long legs, the structure of male tegmina and especially of the stridulatory file suggest closer relationships with P. schmidtii (Fieber, 1853) and partly with some members of the Poecilimon heroicus Stshelkanovtzev, 1911 species group (Heller et al. 2006). The area of distribution of the latter taxa opposite to that of P. stschelkanovzevi at the western side of the Caspian Sea and the close relationships between P. schmidtii and the Poecilimon heroicus group (Ullrich et al. 2010) may further support that hypothesis., Published as part of Chobanov, Dragan P., Sevgili, Hasan & Heller, Klaus-Gerhard, 2020, Bioacoustics of poorly known Poecilimon taxa (Insecta: Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae with redescriptions of P. pechevi and P. stschelkanovzevi, pp. 535-553 in Zootaxa 4890 (4) on pages 549-550, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4890.4.6, http://zenodo.org/record/4306571, {"references":["Tarbinsky, S.

Ebner) (Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin (MfN) (The specimens from Lebanon deposited in MfN were examined during the visit of HS to Berlin in 2006, HS). In Berlin there is a couple from Syria, including the holotype (according to Ramme; or a paratype (OSF); photos in OSF), collected by Ehrenberg (Ramme 1933). Male: Fastigium slightly wider than half width of scapus, narrowing apically, sometimes with parallel sides, slightly depressed and faintly sulcate dorsally (Fig. 22J). Pronotum slightly selliform, with slightly constricted prozona, slighlly divergent posteriorwards on the metazona. Hind margin of metazona slightly concave (Figs. 22J). Pronotum slightly concave dorsally (especially on the metazona) in profile (Fig. 25 A–C). In profile, paranota with frontal margin perpendicular, caudal margin long and obtusely oblique (Fig. 25C). Tegmina shorter than pronotum with whitish edges and not reaching posterior margin of first tergite (Figs. 25K, 25D). Cerci gradually narrowing distalwards, distal 1/3–1/4 obtusely incurved; preapical rows 4–6 includes denticles (Fig. 25F–G). Subgenital plate small, slightly tapering backwards, with shallow incision on caudal margin (Fig. 25G). Stridulatory file: Unknown. Bioacoustic: Unknown. Female: Fastigium as in male (Fig. 22K). Pronotum selliform, constricted at mesozona with slightly concave caudal margin (Figs. 22K, 25E). In profile, pronotum slightly concave (Fig. 25B). Tegmina visible, but shorter than half of pronota, apex rounded (Fig. 25E). Ovipositor, gonangulum and lamella as in Fig. 25H. Remarks: P. varicornis was described as L. (Ephippigera) varicornis from Lebanon. Fontana and Buzzetti (2004), who reported some information on the taxonomic story, examined the examples which were collected by R. Ebner from Lebanon (diagnosed by W. Ramme). They have reported that the distribution of the P. varicornis is limited to Lebanon. A database (http://www.biologie.uni-ulm.de/systax/) and OSF contain some pictures of the museum samples, diagnosed as P. varicornis by W. Ramme which were collected from Fethiye, Göçek (Muğla, TR) deposited in Hamburg Museum (ZMUH). However, W. Ramme did not publish any information about these specimens. According to the data obtained from the fresh materials, collected in this area, it became clear that the population distributed around Muğla was not P. varicornis. Along with the previous specimens from this area, the population is given as a new species in this study (P. salmani) This species has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List (2017–3). There is also not enough data about P. varicornis, and it was not possible to consider it on the basis of the extent of occurrence criteries of IUCN (DD = data deficient)., Published as part of Sevgili, Hasan, Şirin, Deniz, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard & Lemonnier-Darcemont, Michèle, 2018, Review of the Poecilimon (Poecilimon) zonatus species group and description of new species from Turkey with data on bioacoustics and morphology (Orthoptera: Phaneropterinae), pp. 1-62 in Zootaxa 4417 (1) on pages 33-36, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4417.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1242339, {"references":["Ramme, W.

Poecilimon (Poecilimon) zonatus datca ssp. n. http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Orthoptera.speciesfile.org:TaxonName:502739 Type locality: Turkey: Muğla, Marmaris-Datça road. Holotype: Male (in alcohol, HUZOM). Measurements (mm): Body length: 25.33, Pronotum: 5.93, Tegmina: 2.18, Hindfemora: 18.96. Etymology: Named as datca after the Datça Peninsula, noun in apposition. Examined materials: Turkey, Muğla: Marmaris-Datça road, N 36°47'.46'', E 28 °03'.57'', ~ 44 m, 14.05.2016, 3♂♂ (including holotype), 5♀♀ (coll. H. Sevgili) (all specimens deposited within alcohol in ODUZOOL). Diagnosis: The new subspecies differs mainly from the nominate subspecies by having larger teeth and teeth intervals, and low number of teeth in stridulatory file of male. Compared to the nominate subspecies, the calling song of the new subspecies is easily distinguished by a smaller number impulses and typical decrescendo pattern. Description: Male (holotype): Fastigium as wide as half of the antennal scapus, slightly narrowed frontward and faintly depressed dorsally. Pronotum slightly wider in metazona than prozona, slightly depressed at mesozona laterally; disc of pronotum with a straight frontal margin and faintly concave caudal margin (Fig. 22G). Pronotum slightly raised backward in profile (Fig. 47). Tegmina with black longutidunal band, slightly rounded at caudal parts and extends beyond middle of first abdominal tergite. Cu2 of left tegmen roundly projecting at right margin (Fig. 22G, 47A–B). Hindfemur without spines. Epiproct transversely enlarged. Cerci gradually narrowing distalwards, distal 1/3–1/4 obtusely incurved and slightly tapered apically; there are two rows of denticles distally, preapical row includes 1, subapical row includes 5–6 denticles (Fig. 23I –J). Subgenital plate wide at proximal part, obtusely narrowed at caudal part, with slightly sinuate and almost straight caudal margin (Fig. 10O). Stridulatory file: Male stridulatory file is similar to P. z. zonatus in general structure, but is distinguished by low number of teeth which are sparsely arranged and relatively larger than in P. z. zonatus (Fig. 17D; Table 3). Tooth morphology is clearly different from other species of the group (Fig. 18G). Bioacoustics: The calling song is similar to that of P. vodnensis. In the calling songs of the only two males we have studied, the “click”-like syllable are presented in small groups which were repeated in large, irregular intervals (Fig. 30). The syllables lasted about 9.4 ms and were composed of about 3–4 impulses (Fig. 37). The peak frequency of the song had a maximum at about 28 kHz (see for details Table 4, Fig. 37). Female: Pronotum laterally wider than in male, metazona slightly wider than prozona, strongly depressed (Fig. 47C). Tegmina short, slightly extending beyond posterior margin of the pronotum, fully overlapping dorsally. Subgenital plate triangular (Fig. 12D). Ovipositor, gonangulum and lamella as in Figs. 12D, 28G. Remarks: The nominate species was originally described by Bolivar (1899) from Binboğa Mountains (Kahramanmaraş, Turkey). P. z. zonatus reveals a fragmented distribution in the North-South direction at high altitudes of the mountains of Anatolian diagonal and relatively high plateaus of northern part of Taurus mountains in the East-West direction. The additional faunistic records of P. z. zonatus were documented by Çıplak et al. (1996), Karabağ (1958), Mol et al. (2016), Ramme (1931), Sevgili et al. (2012b), Uvarov (1917), and Ünal (2010). Ramme (1951) identified the specimens collected by Dr. O. Schwarz from the Sandras mountain (Muğla) as P. zonatus. In this research, the samples studied by Ramme were not studied. However, it should be noted that this small population from the Datça Peninsula near the seashore and the populations outside the P. salmani that spread around the Muğla province may belong to the newly described subspecies. The new subspecies is distinguished from P. salmani, which is known to inhabit the areas of Fethiye and Dalyan and is described as a new species in this study by the differences of the shape of the apical part of male cerci, the shape of gonangulum and lamella in female and colour pattern of tergites in both sexes. The syllable pattern of the calling song is quite similar to that of the macrosyllables of P. variicercis, but the whole song pattern of P. variicercis shows significant differences from this species (see Figs. 36–37). The new subspecies was found together with some orthopterans such as Poecilimon (P.) sanctipauli, P. (H.). hamatus, Eupholidoptera sp. and Orchamus yersini davisi from type locality. This species has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List (2017–3). The distribution of the P. zonatus datca is highly restricted and its habitats are under the threat by anthropogenic effects, such as stubble fire, over-use of pesticides in agriculture, touristic activities and grazing. For these reasons, the species should be considered with a Critically Endangered (B1ab(i, iii)) status on the basis of the extent of occurrence criteries of IUCN.

Type location: Turkey, Erzurum / Ardahan, Oltu Holotype: Male Previous records: Turkey, Erzurum: Oltu, Olur (= Olor), 19.07.1910, 2♂♂ (including type), 2♀♀ (coll. P. Nesterov); Olur, Pancuret (= Panjuret), 18.07.1910, 1♂ f. unicolor (coll. P. Nesterov) (Bei-Bienko, 1954); Erzurum (?): G��zeler, Ovacık, 14.07.1984, 1♂, 1♀ (coll.

Şişli, HUZOM); Şenkaya, around İnce��ay village (old name: Puncheret), N 40��46'.56'', E 042��18'.53'', 1931 m, 27.06.2016, 6♂♂, 13♀♀ (coll. H. Sevgili & D.

Şirin) (all specimens deposited in alcohol, OD��ZOOL); Kars- Erzurum: Sarıkamış, Zivin (S��ng��taşı) village, 21.07.1953, 2♂♂ (det. T. Karabağ, 1963). Male: Fastigium robust and wider than half of the antennal scape or as wide as it, with distinct dorsal groove; fastigium with parallel sides or slightly convergent to frontward (Figs. 22D, 29O���P). Prozona of pronotum slightly narrowed to mesozona, in some specimens metazona slightly widened (Fig. 22J���K). Metazona of pronotum in profile distinctly elevated and slightly convex, posterior margin clearly concave. Tegmina with black longitudinal band, barely shorter than pronotum, not extending to hind margin of first abdominal tergum, apex rounded (Fig. 2J���K). Epiproct with concave post margin, appear as two lobes (Fig. 24A���E). Male cerci thin, tapering from distal to proximal, in apical third arched inward, with variable denticulation, apex of cerci with black apical denticle and 2���6 denticles situated on the apical margin (Fig. 24A���E). Subgenital plate shorter than cerci, slightly tapering backwards with rounded edge, posterior margin of subgenital plate with shallow triangular or rounded incision (Fig. 10E���G). Stridulatory file: The general shape and length of stridulatory file are similar to P. z. zonatus, P. vodnensis, P. salmani and P. z. datca, but the file differs from those species in tooth shape (Figs. 17E���G). Looking at SEM photographs taken at larger magnifications, the structure of the teeth is clearly different from other species of the species-group (Fig. 18E���F). Bioacoustics: The calling songs of the males were recorded at night at 26��C in laboratory from four different populations. The song pattern consists of ���click���-like syllables that quite different from other species of the group and composed of two groups of syllables with the first consisting of major syllables and a second of minor syllables (Fig. 30). Males begin to produce the calling song with macrosyllables which has high amplitude and later minor syllables with low amplitude follow the first group. The syllables were repeated quite regular intervals within each groups. But, the durations of these two groups were not in a particular order. The minor syllables have decrescendo type impulses with more impulses (Fig. 36). For other bioacoustics details see Table 4 and Figs. 36. Female: Fastigium with parallel sides, as wide as half of scapus or slightly narrower, faintly depressed and sulcate dorsally (Fig. 29P). Pronotum dorsally cylindrical, slightly narrowed in mesozona, metazona slightly widened compared with prozona and raised in profile with distinct concave hind margin (Fig. 22I). Tegmina visible and fully overlapping dorsally, but not reaching the first abdominal tergit (Fig. 22I). In Şenkaya population, the tegmina of females are shorter than in Olur and Oltu populations. Female cerci thin, slightly extending to hind margin of epiproct, gradually tapering backwards and slightly curved inward (Fig. 27D). Subgenital plate triangular with distinct median protuberance (Fig. 12C). Ovipositor, gonagulum and lamella as in Fig. 12C, 28E���F. Coloration: See Fig. 48. Remarks: This species was described from Olur, the Northern part of Erzurum provinces (Turkey) by Miram (1938). Bei-Bienko (1954) studied a male of this species which was collected by P. Nesterov from Panzhuret, north of Oltu, Erzurum. We found out that Panzhuret was now known as the ���Pancirot��� by local people around Olur and Şenkaya and that the current official name is ���İnce��ay��� in Şenkaya town of Erzurum. In the field studies, we observed the crowded populations of P. variicercis in both the villages of both İnce��ay and Uğurlu. The great similarity of P. variicercis and P. z. zonatus has been known, but there has not been any detailed study on P. variicercis. The main differences between these species are found in the shape of pronotum and cerci in both sexes. Compared to P. z. zonatus, pronotum is narrower laterally in males, and the posterior margin of pronotum in P. variicercis is more concave than in P. z. zonatus. In general, the male cercus is similar to P. z. zonatus; it differs from more twisted to backwards at distal part and as having different location and number of denticles at cercal apex. Cerci of female are thinner at distal part and longer than that of P. z. zonatus. There is not enough morphological difference in the shape of male subgenital plate to distinguish these two species. The caudal part and incision of its margin of subgenital plate are slightly narrower in P. variicercis. This important taxonomical character seems to be quite variable for this population. Fastigium of female in P. variicercis is slightly wider and more flattened at the front than that of P. z. z. zonatus. Some exceptions, however, should be noted, because the pronotum is elevated in metazona and being distinctly concave in the posterior margin, and the wing appears to be more freely structured and longer in the females than in other species of the group. Although the subgenital plate does not differ much from other species in the females, it has morphological similarities with P. z. datca. On the other hand, it differs from P. z. zonatus and P. salmani by having a distinct median protuberance, whereas in other species of the group the subgenital plate is more triangular. The morphology formed by lamella and gonangulum of females differs from that of P. z. zonatus. This species of the zonatus group calls continuously with a faster syllable repetition rate than other species of the group. A male calling song contains two groups of syllables with the first consisting of macrosyllables and the second one of microsyllables not found in any other species of PZG. This species has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List (2017���3). The distribution of the P. variicercis is restricted and its habitats are under the threat of the antropogenic effects, such as over-use of pesticides in agriculture and grazing.

Male: Fastigium as wide as or slightly wider than half of scapus, slightly convergent to distalwards in some specimens, faintly sulcate dorsally (Fig. 29A���B). Pronotum almost parallel from prozona to backwards, narrowed at mesozona (Figs. 5C, F; 6C���D). Disk of pronotum slightly raised on at metazona with straight or slightly concave caudal margin (Fig. 6C). Tegmina not reaching the hind margin of first tergum, shorter than half length of pronotum (Fig. 5C, F). Hind margin of abdominal tergites not straight, slightly bending with or without faint carina at middle (Fig. 7A���C). Cerci long, protruding beyond the caudal margin of subgenital plate, widely curved, not tapering behind the tip, cercal tip with 3 black denticles (Figs. 8A���B). Subgenital plate clearly narrowed distally with deep incision at its caudal margin (Fig. 10A). FIGURE 8. Stridulatory file: The file is slightly ���S��� shaped and curved. The teeth are narrow and swollen to the sides in the middle (Fig. 15C). P. tauricola has the highest number of teeth and the smallest teeth compared to the sound organs of members of the group (see for details Fig. 16A; Table 3). Bioacoustics: The quiet male calling song consists of isolated, short crescending syllables repeated at variable intervals, some a little louder than others (Fig. 33, 34). Each syllable consists of 21���42 impulses and has a mean duration of about 28 ms (Table 4). Female: Fastigium protruding to forward with parallel sides and a distinct dorsal groove, as wide as half of the scapus, sometimes slightly wider (Fig. 29B). Pronotal disc generally similar as in male; paranota short, ventral edge anteriorly straight, then laterally bent upward at a wide angle. Tegmina usually covered by pronotum, but in some individuals protruding slightly beyond caudal margin of pronotum (Fig. 38C). Epiproct ellipsoidal to backward (Fig. 11A). Cerci longer than epiproct, gently curved inward distally (Fig. 11A). Subgenital plate triangular, distinctly projecting on caudal margin (Fig. 12H). Ovipositor short, but distinctly longer than pronotum (Fig. 11C). Gonangulum and lamella as in Figs. 11C and 12H. Coloration: See the photos (Fig. 39). Remarks: P. tauricola was redescribed by Karabağ (1964). This species may be easily distinguished from P. z. zonatus, P. z. datca, P. varicornis, P. variicercis and P. salmani sp. n. on the basis of the shape of pronotum, cerci and subgenital plate for both sexes. Additionally, the species differs from the species mentioned above in morphology of stridulatory organ and song pattern of male. This species is most closely related with P. azizsancar sp. n. within the species group, and their morphological and bioacoustical differences are discussed in the part of the new species. This species has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List (2017���3). The distribution of the P. tauricola is restricted and its habitats are strongly under the threat of the anthropogenic effects suchs as mining, use of pesticides in agriculture and overgrazing. The species should be considered as a Critically Endangered (B1ab (i, iii)) status on the basis of the extent of occurrence criteries of IUCN., Published as part of Sevgili, Hasan, ��irin, Deniz, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard & Lemonnier-Darcemont, Mich��le, 2018, Review of the Poecilimon (Poecilimon) zonatus species group and description of new species from Turkey with data on bioacoustics and morphology (Orthoptera: Phaneropterinae), pp. 1-62 in Zootaxa 4417 (1) on pages 13-16, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4417.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1242339, {"references":["Ramme, W.

Poecilimon (Poecilimon) vodnensis Karaman, 1958 http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Orthoptera.speciesfile.org:TaxonName:73243 Poecilimon vodnensis: Karaman 1958: 39; Harz 1969: 145; Chobanov & Mihajlova 2010: 92; Lemonnier-Darcemont & Darcemont 2016: 77 ���80. Type locality: Macedonia, Vodno Mountain Holotype: Male Previous records: Macedonia, Skopje: Vodno Mountain, 10.07.1954, 1♂ (holotype); 0 7.1961, 1♂, 2♀♀; 26.06.1960, 1♂, 1♀ (Chobanov & Mihajlova 2010); Prilep: Pass above ��tavica, N 41��15'04.3'', E 021��35'20.9'', 1147 m; Between Dunje and Manastir village, N 41��13'04.0'', E 021��41'24.6'', 590 m ♂, ♀ (coll. M. Lemonnier- Darcemont & C. Darcemont). Examined materials: Macedonia, Prilep: Pass above ��tavica, 2012, 4♂♂, 1♀ N 41��15'04.3'', E 021��35'20.9'', 1147 m; the same locality, 20.05.2017, 1♂, 1♀; Between Dunje and Manastir village, 2013, N 41��13'04.0'', E 021��41'24.6'', 590 m 1♂, 1♀ (coll. M. Lemonnier-Darcemont & C. Darcemont). Stridulatory file: Starting from the wing base, the file is slightly curved and carries approximately 40 teeth, then suddenly the teeth (about 18 teeth) shrink and continue as a ladder-like structure downwards (Fig. 15G). For details of morphology and measurements see Figs. 15G, 18I ���J and Table 3. Biacoustics: The faint male calling song is produced mainly in the evening and at night, consists of ���click���- like syllables lasting about 7���9 ms, often separated by irregular intervals (between 1.4���7.8 s) (Figs. 19���32). The impulse number of each syllable varies between 5���8. The first two impulses are generally crescendo type while the next impulses are decrescendo (Fig. 37). The syllable number per minute varied between 15���34 (Fig. 20). Coloration: See in Fig. 26A���B. Remarks: P. vodnensis shares the taxonomic characters of the P. zonatus species group, and is the only member which can be found in the Balkans. This species is closely related to P. zonatus zonatus, P. z. datca ssp. n., P. variicercis, P. varicornis and P. salmani sp. n., but differs from these species by having a wider fastigium, different shape of stridulatory organ, cerci and cercal apex in male, and different shape of pronotal disc in both sexes. P. vodnensis shares similar characters with P. variicercis, P. varicornis and P. salmani sp. n. by having distinct concave structure of the pronotal caudal margin. The calling song is also similar to that of the other members of the studied zonatus group excluding P. tauricola and P. azizsancar sp. n.. The male song may be distinguished by its general pattern, less impulse number and shorter duration of syllables. A male in July 1954 and a male and a female in August 1957 were initially discovered by Mladen Karaman in the Republic of Macedonia, on Mount Vodno at 900 m altitude, in an area with Rubus sp. (Karaman 1958). Many subsequent researches in this area were carried out without any results. It is likely that anthropogenic changes of this mountain located on the outskirts of Skopje contributed to its rarefaction. The species was found recently, but in the south of the country, near Prilep, in two different localities at less than ten kilometres from each other (Lemonnier-Darcemont & Darcemont 2016): 1. Pass above ��tavica: 41��15'04.3" / 021��35'20.9" at 1147 m a.s.l. Meadow with some thorn bushes including Rosa sp., in edge of beech groves. Nearly twenty taxa were also recorded including Bradyporus dasypus, Pholidoptera macedonica, Montana macedonica, Poecilimon ornatus, Metrioptera tsirojanni, Celes variabilis, Stenobothrus fischeri, etc. 2. Between Dunje and Manastir villages: 41��13'04.0" / 021��41'24.6" at 590 m a.s.l. Grazed dry grassland on the edge of open oak forest (opened artificially). The population of Orthoptera is diversified and rich, including the presence of Saga rammei, S. natoliae, B. dasypus, P. ornatus, Arcyptera microptera, Stenobothrus fischeri, etc. These biotopes, which have in common the proximity of deciduous forests, are located on the collinean level. It should be also noted that the individuals have always been observed in areas where the herbaceous layer was the densest and the highest. The period of occurrence of adults is between the end of May and the end of June, but as Karaman's observations showed, some adults could still be visible until July���August in Vodno Mountain. In the area of Prilep, we have never found adults so late which seems logical given the much more xerothermophilic character of these two localities. This species is in ���Near Threatened��� status in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (2017���3) and in the European Red List of Orthoptera (Hochkirch et al. 2016). Breeding notes (2017): for the majority of individuals collected on May 20 at the Stavica locality (1150 m), the last moult occurred between the 28th of May and the 2nd of June. Two to three days later the males began to stridulate and the mating activities began. According to this first breeding experience, the sexual maturation seemed fast, and the survival rate after first mating for males or females was rather low, not exceeding one week., Published as part of Sevgili, Hasan, ��irin, Deniz, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard & Lemonnier-Darcemont, Mich��le, 2018, Review of the Poecilimon (Poecilimon) zonatus species group and description of new species from Turkey with data on bioacoustics and morphology (Orthoptera: Phaneropterinae), pp. 1-62 in Zootaxa 4417 (1) on pages 47-48, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4417.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1242339, {"references":["Karaman, M.

Male: Fastigium slightly narrower than antennal scapus, slightly depressed and sulcate dorsally and slightly tapered frontward with rounded margin (Fig. 29D). Pronotal disc slighlty constricted at anterior part, posteriorly distinctly elevated in profile, metazona as wide as prozona dorsally, frontal and caudal margins of the disc straight (Fig. 5A–B); based on lateral keels on pronotum, the metazona appears to have slightly widened (Fig. 6A). Pronotum slightly concave dorsally; paranota with frontal margin perpendicular, ventral margin convex, caudal margin short roundly oblique (Fig. 7A). Tegmina with rounded margins, shorter than half length of pronotum, not extending the caudal margin of first abdominal tergum (Fig. 5A–C). Cu2 of left tegmen distinctly projecting at right margin. Hind margin of abdominal tergites not straight, clearly bending with distinct carina at middle, especially in first caudal margins of the tergum (Fig. 5A–B, 7B, D) (this abdominal protrusion can be better seen in profile). Epiproct shorter than half length of cercal disc?, obtusely narrowed caudally. Cerci widely arcuate, slighty swollen in distal half, acutely thinned at tip with three robust denticles (Figs. 8 C–D, 9A–C). Subgenital plate shorter than cerci, from the middle distinctly narrowed at distal part with deep incision at its caudal margin (Fig. 10B–C). Stridulatory file: The file of the new species is similar to that of P. tauricola, but can be easily distinguished from it by its unique morphology (Fig. 15A–B): it has a large step (= an abrupt change in elevation) near the middle (see also Fig. 51A). The details of the teeth are clearly different between two species (Fig. 16B). Additionaly, compared to P. tauricola, the file of male P. azizsancar has fewer teeth. Biaocustics: Male calling songs were recorded from three different sites in the evening/night. They consist of an irregularly repeated sequence of syllables (Fig. 33). Each syllable consists of two distinct impulse groups with more impulses in the first crescending part (Fig. 34). The syllables lasted about 36 ms (see for details Table 4–5). Female: Fastigium as in males, sometimes slightly narrower (Fig. 29C, E). Pronotal disc slightly constricted at mesozona, not widened at posterior part, frontal and caudal margins of the disc straight (Fig. 5D–E). In general, tegmina very short, extending slightly beyond caudal margin of the disc, fully overlapping dorsally; paranota with frontal margin perpendicular, ventral margin slightly convex, rising backward arc-shaped and roundly oblique (Fig. 6B). Especially first and second abdominal tergites with distinct carina at the middle of caudal margins. Cerci long and distinctly curved inward (Fig. 11B). Subgenital plate distinctly wider than long with slightly projected on arcuate caudal margin (Fig. 12I). Ovipositor, gonangulum and lamella as in Figs. 11D and 12I. Coloration: The coloration and patterning of the tergites as in Figs. 40–41. Remarks: The population which was previously diagnosed and published as P. tauricola from Artvin- Erzurum was studied in this study in large scale. However, according to the findings obtained, based on morphology and the male calling songs, this population has the distinct differences from P. tauricola. Probably, the reasons for the misidentification of this population as P. tauricola in previous studies have been the similarities of the shape of pronotum, male cerci and subgenital plate. But, the new species differs from the P. tauricola in the shape of pronotum, having a distinct tubercule on the hind margin of the first abdominal tergite, the morphology of male stridulatory file, the shape of male cerci and female subgenital plate. Although the calling song the males are partly similar between these species, the male song patterns of both P. azizsancar and P. tauricola differ clearly from the other species of the group. These two species P. azizsancar and P. tauricola form a monophyletic branch within the species group according to their morphological similarity (general apperance, cylindrical pronotum for both sexes, subgenital plate of male with acutely narrowed at caudal part, short and robust ovipositor) and a possibly derived type of bioacoustical signals. P. azizsancar differs from other species of the group by cylindrical pronotum, wider fastigum compared to antennal scapus, different shape of tegmina and stridulatory file with distally bending, the shape of subgenital plate and ovipositor, different shape of both male and female cerci, ratio of the length of ovipositor to the length both body and pronotum. Additionaly, the caudal margin of pronotum is more or less straight when compared to the hind margin of pronotum of other species excluding P. tauricola. Özbek & Yıldırım (1994) reported that the bush-cricket made a gradation / mass propagation in Şenkaya Plateau in 1990 (Erzurum province, Turkey): they conducted a field survey in this district. The collected population was identified as P. tauricola in this paper. However, when we look at the general appearance of body of female and the shape of male subgenital plate, given in the paper, the shape of ovipositor and subgenital plate is clearly different from that of P. tauricola. These Figs. given by the authors are more similar to that of P. variicercis, because in P. tauricola the subgenital plate of males shows a marked acute construction at the caudal part and is typically labeled with a “U” shaped apex. Ünal (2010) examined the specimens collected from Uzundere (Erzurum) by Özbek & Aslan (1996) as P. tricuspis and he identified them as P. tauricola. The male cerci of P. tricuspis are similar to both P. azizsancar and P. tauricola. P. tricuspis belongs to P. heroicus species-group and the members of the group are recognised by posteriorly broader pronotum, relatively large body, and hind femora with ventral spines (Heller et al. 2006). The ovipositor in P. tricuspis is much longer than in P. azizsancar (P. azizsancar: 7.8–8.86/ P. tricuspis: 13–14 mm) (see for details Bei-Bienko 1954). In females, the posterior margin of pronotum is more or less straight as compared to P. variicercis. The female cerci are thinner and longer than that of both P. variicercis and P. zonatus. The shape of the curved part of female cerci is also distinctly different from the two species mentioned above. This species has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List (2017–3). The distribution of P. azizsancar is restricted and its habitats are under the threat of the antropogenic effects, such as overgrazing and the use of pesticides in agriculture. This species should be considered as Endangered (B2ab(i)) on the basis of the extent of occurrence criteries of IUCN.

Poecilimon (Poecilimon) zonatus datca ssp. n. http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Orthoptera.speciesfile.org:TaxonName:502739 Type locality: Turkey: Muğla, Marmaris-Dat��a road. Holotype: Male (in alcohol, HUZOM). Measurements (mm): Body length: 25.33, Pronotum: 5.93, Tegmina: 2.18, Hindfemora: 18.96. Etymology: Named as datca after the Dat��a Peninsula, noun in apposition. Examined materials: Turkey, Muğla: Marmaris-Dat��a road, N 36��47'.46'', E 28 ��03'.57'', ~ 44 m, 14.05.2016, 3♂♂ (including holotype), 5♀♀ (coll. H. Sevgili) (all specimens deposited within alcohol in ODUZOOL). Diagnosis: The new subspecies differs mainly from the nominate subspecies by having larger teeth and teeth intervals, and low number of teeth in stridulatory file of male. Compared to the nominate subspecies, the calling song of the new subspecies is easily distinguished by a smaller number impulses and typical decrescendo pattern. Description: Male (holotype): Fastigium as wide as half of the antennal scapus, slightly narrowed frontward and faintly depressed dorsally. Pronotum slightly wider in metazona than prozona, slightly depressed at mesozona laterally; disc of pronotum with a straight frontal margin and faintly concave caudal margin (Fig. 22G). Pronotum slightly raised backward in profile (Fig. 47). Tegmina with black longutidunal band, slightly rounded at caudal parts and extends beyond middle of first abdominal tergite. Cu2 of left tegmen roundly projecting at right margin (Fig. 22G, 47A���B). Hindfemur without spines. Epiproct transversely enlarged. Cerci gradually narrowing distalwards, distal 1/3���1/4 obtusely incurved and slightly tapered apically; there are two rows of denticles distally, preapical row includes 1, subapical row includes 5���6 denticles (Fig. 23I ���J). Subgenital plate wide at proximal part, obtusely narrowed at caudal part, with slightly sinuate and almost straight caudal margin (Fig. 10O). Stridulatory file: Male stridulatory file is similar to P. z. zonatus in general structure, but is distinguished by low number of teeth which are sparsely arranged and relatively larger than in P. z. zonatus (Fig. 17D; Table 3). Tooth morphology is clearly different from other species of the group (Fig. 18G). Bioacoustics: The calling song is similar to that of P. vodnensis. In the calling songs of the only two males we have studied, the ���click���-like syllable are presented in small groups which were repeated in large, irregular intervals (Fig. 30). The syllables lasted about 9.4 ms and were composed of about 3���4 impulses (Fig. 37). The peak frequency of the song had a maximum at about 28 kHz (see for details Table 4, Fig. 37). Female: Pronotum laterally wider than in male, metazona slightly wider than prozona, strongly depressed (Fig. 47C). Tegmina short, slightly extending beyond posterior margin of the pronotum, fully overlapping dorsally. Subgenital plate triangular (Fig. 12D). Ovipositor, gonangulum and lamella as in Figs. 12D, 28G. Remarks: The nominate species was originally described by Bolivar (1899) from Binboğa Mountains (Kahramanmaraş, Turkey). P. z. zonatus reveals a fragmented distribution in the North-South direction at high altitudes of the mountains of Anatolian diagonal and relatively high plateaus of northern part of Taurus mountains in the East-West direction. The additional faunistic records of P. z. zonatus were documented by ��ıplak et al. (1996), Karabağ (1958), Mol et al. (2016), Ramme (1931), Sevgili et al. (2012b), Uvarov (1917), and ��nal (2010). Ramme (1951) identified the specimens collected by Dr. O. Schwarz from the Sandras mountain (Muğla) as P. zonatus. In this research, the samples studied by Ramme were not studied. However, it should be noted that this small population from the Dat��a Peninsula near the seashore and the populations outside the P. salmani that spread around the Muğla province may belong to the newly described subspecies. The new subspecies is distinguished from P. salmani, which is known to inhabit the areas of Fethiye and Dalyan and is described as a new species in this study by the differences of the shape of the apical part of male cerci, the shape of gonangulum and lamella in female and colour pattern of tergites in both sexes. The syllable pattern of the calling song is quite similar to that of the macrosyllables of P. variicercis, but the whole song pattern of P. variicercis shows significant differences from this species (see Figs. 36���37). The new subspecies was found together with some orthopterans such as Poecilimon (P.) sanctipauli, P. (H.). hamatus, Eupholidoptera sp. and Orchamus yersini davisi from type locality. This species has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List (2017���3). The distribution of the P. zonatus datca is highly restricted and its habitats are under the threat by anthropogenic effects, such as stubble fire, over-use of pesticides in agriculture, touristic activities and grazing. For these reasons, the species should be considered with a Critically Endangered (B1ab(i, iii)) status on the basis of the extent of occurrence criteries of IUCN., Published as part of Sevgili, Hasan, ��irin, Deniz, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard & Lemonnier-Darcemont, Mich��le, 2018, Review of the Poecilimon (Poecilimon) zonatus species group and description of new species from Turkey with data on bioacoustics and morphology (Orthoptera: Phaneropterinae), pp. 1-62 in Zootaxa 4417 (1) on page 31, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4417.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1242339, {"references":["Karabag, T.

Karabağ). Male: Fastigium narrow, nearly half as wide as antennal scape with parallel or slightly convergent sides and dorsally with shallow groove (Fig. 29G���J). Pronotum short, posteriorly not narrowed, laterally widened, anterior margin of the pronotum straight, but posterior margin slightly excised, and laterally almost straight prozona, slightly elevated at metazona (Fig. 21A���G). Tegmina shorter than pronotum, not protruding beyond of first abdominal tergite (Fig. 21A���G). Male cerci (Fig. 23A���H) proximally massive, gradually tapering towards the apex. Apical part of cerci curved almost in a right angle with longitudinal axis of base. Apex not pointed, ending 4���5 small denticles at bottom edge, 2���3 denticles inner part. Subgenital plate of male wide at base, apically narrowed (Fig. 10J���N). Apical margin of subgenital plate of male is variable from slightly sinuate to almost straight. Stridulatory file: Stridulatory files of males from eight localities are downcurved at apical part and bear 54���74 fine teeth (Fig. 17A���C; Table 3). The general morphology of the file is similar to that of P. zonatus datca ssp. n., P. variicercis, P. vodnensis and P. salmani sp. n. It differs from these species by having a higher number and a different shape of teeth (Fig. 17; Table 3). In P. zonatus teeth are arranged closer to each other than in other species. Length of the biggest tooth of the file is highly variable with an average of 103 ��m. Bioacoustics: The male calling song consists of faint ���click���-like syllables repeated at very variable periods (Figs. 19, 20, 31). Each syllable is a closing hemisyllable, varying between 7���16 ms (Table 4). Each syllable was composed of 3���10 initial impulses of low amplitude and 5���12 impulses with higher amplitude and mean number of impulses per syllable was about 9.7 (Fig. 35). The peak frequencies of the song had their maximum between 37 and 53 kHz. Female: Fastigium verticis as in male, but it differs slightly in Malatya population with parallel edges, wider than half of scapus and an indistinct sulcus above (Fig. 29F, K). Disk of pronotum laterally widened, frontal margin almost straight, caudal margin slightly concave or straight; pronotum with dorsal margin in profile silightly concave in mesozona (Fig. 21H���L). Tegmina clearly shorter than half of the pronotal length or sometimes fully concealed, but overlapping dorsally (Fig. 21H���L). Subgenital plate small and triangular, weakly projected on caudal margin (Fig. 12E���G). Ovipositor, gonangulum and lamella as in Figs. 12, 28A���D. Coloration: Although the overall body color is darker, the coloration tends to vary geographically most in those color patterns that vary individually most within a population (Fig. 42���46). Remarks: P. zonatus can be distinguished from other closely related species P. varicornis, P. variicercis and P. varicornis by the following combination of characters: laterally widened pronotum in both sexes; in general, compared with P. variicercis male cerci less curved inward at distal part; when compared with P. salmani, apex of male cerci not blunt in P. zonatus , P. varicornis and P. variicercis; subgenital plate of male less narrowed than other species at distal part; female cerci slightly thicker at apex (Fig. 27). Of these species of the group, P. z. zonatus shows some similarities to the new species P. salmani in male calling song. It can be acoustically separated from P. salmani by having a longer syllable period and less syllables per minute. Additionaly, syllables of P. salmani contain more impulses, and depending on this, the duration of the syllable is longer. The morphology (pronotum, male and female cerci, male stridulatory file, subgenital plate of both sexes and ovipositor) and some bioacoustics characters of P. z. zonatus are quite different from both P. tauricola and P. azizsancar sp. n.. The abdominal dorsal colour pattern was used as a taxonomic character by Ramme (1933). However, this pattern is very variable between populations and sexes even in the same population. We observed a clear colour pattern differentiation on abdomen between P. salmani and P. z. datca (see Fig. 46, 48). P. z. zonatus has the widest distribution between the species of the group. It was found together with some tettigoniids; P. (P.) sanctipauli and Gampsocleis recticauda from Beydağlar (Antalya), Isophya major, Parapholidoptera yoruka, Eupholidoptera sp., Saga rhodiensis from Ermenek, Isophya cf. schneideri, Parapholidoptera sp. from Gezit Mountain (Osmaniye), I. cf. schneideri, Bradyporus (Callimenus) latipes from P��t��rge (Malatya), I. cf. schneideri, Tettigonia caudata from Munzur Mountains (Erzincan), probably with I. cf. schneideri and Poecilimon syriacus from Kahramanmaraş. This species has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List (2017���3). P. zonatus zonatus has a very wide distribution along the Anatolian Diagonal.

Poecilimon salmani Sevgili, sp. n. http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Orthoptera.speciesfile.org:TaxonName:502742 Holotype: Male (in alcohol, deposited in HUZOM). Turkey, Muğla: Ortaca, Dalyan, N 36��46'.77'', E 28��38'.22'', 350 m 13.05.2016 male. Measurement (mm): Body length: 23.35, Pronotum: 4.88, Tegmina: 1.90, Hind femur: 18.10. Etymology: Named for turkish orthopterist Selahattin Salman, who has done outstanding works on the Orthoptera fauna of Turkey. He died in 2017. Previous examined materials: See above under varicornis Examined material: Turkey, Muğla: Dalyan, İztuzu, N 36��46'.490'', E 28��39'.575'', 239 m, 27.05.2002, 10♂♂, 7♀♀ (H. Sevgili & Y. Durmuş) (HUZOM); Ortaca, Dalyan, N 36��46'.77'', E 28��38'.22'', 350 m 13.05.2016, 13♂♂, 5♀♀ (leg. H. Sevgili, in alcohol, ODUZOOL). Diagnosis: Males of P. salmani can be easily distinguished on the basis of the cercal apex with blunt-ended. In adititonally, subgenital plate with the narrower distal part, general shape of stridulatory organs and unique tooth structure are clearly different in males. The females of this new species are distinguished by differences in the details of gonangulum-lamella and subgenital plate. Male: Fastigium as wide as half of the scapus with shallow longitudinal groove and convex apex, not narrower than half of the scapus; slightly convergent to frontward, sometimes with parallel sides (Fig. 29L). Pronotal disc with straight frontal margin and concave caudal margin; prozona slightly convergent to backward and slightly divergent posteriorwards on the metazona, but metazona not distincly wider than prozona (Fig. 22A���B). In profile, pronotum straight in prozona and mesozona, slightly raising to metazona; ventral margin of paranota short, caudal margin long and oblique (Fig. 49A���B). Tegmina with rounded and whitish margins, shorter than pronotum, not extending to first abdominal tergum (Figs. 22A���B, 49A���B). Cu2 of left teğmen slightly projecting from right margin of tegmen, and visible behind the pronotum. Epiproct 1.5 times as wide as long, ending behind the half of the cercus (Fig. 24F, H). Cerci (Fig. 24F���H) short and strong, gradually narrowing distalwards, distal 2/3 obtusely incurved and rounded apically, not tapered; dorsally apex with 3 or 5 spines, from the bottom 3 larger spines on a row and preapically one small spine located at apex. Subgenital plate wide at proximally, but acutely tapering at distal 4/5 with convergent margins, with straight or faint incision on hind margin (Fig. 10 H���I). Stridulatory file: The file may be distinguished from other species of the group in that they possess interesting teeth structure which separated from each other by the fact that they have an interlocking carina-like morphology with an appearance that ties them together (Figs. 15D���E; 18H, K���L). Bioacoustics: The songs of nine bush-crickets from the same locality were recorded in the evening. The quite male calling song, produced mainly in the evening and at night, consists of irregular sequences of ���click���-like syllable groups (Fig. 30). The syllables were repeated at about 1.23 s, lasted about 15���19 ms and composed of 11���19 impulses (Table 4). The amplitude of the impulses increased at the beginning and decreased towards the end (Fig. 38). Some syllables consist of isolated ���click��� (Fig. 30). For some details see Table 4 and Fig. 38. Female: Fastigium slightly wider than male with distinct groove (Fig. 29M). Pronotum as in male, but dorsal margin almost straight in profile (Fig. 22 E���F). Paranota as in male. Subgenital plate triangular, but obtusely rounded at the edges, weakly projected on caudal margin (Fig. 12 A���B). Ovipositor, gonangulum-lamella as in Fig. 12 A���B, 28H. Coloration: See Fig. 49. Remarks: P. salmani is closely related to P. z. zonatus, P. z. datca, P. variicercis, P. varicornis and P. vodnensis concerning their body size, fastigium verticis in both sexes, general shape of male cerci and male subgenital plate, subgenital plate and ovipositor in female. In males, cerci are asymetrical in terms of the denticles at the cercal apex. Tegmina remain under the pronotum, invisible in some specimens, but in some cases the tegmina extends slightly backwards from the caudal margin of pronotum, fully overlapping dorsally. Male calling shows some similarities to P. z. zonatus, P. vodnensis and P. z. datca by having a sequence of irregular syllables or syllable groups. In terms of amplitude modulation and carrier frequency of the song, it is closely related to P. z. zonatus, but it can be distinguished from P. z. zonatus in kept it contains more impulses, a shorter syllable period and the average number of repeated syllables per minute in male calling song. It differs from P. variicercis by having irregular syllable groups and an almost uniform syllable pattern. The song of the new species can be easily distinguished by its different syllable pattern and a less number of impulses per syllable. This species has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List (2017���3). The distribution of the P. salmani is restricted and its habitats are strongly under the threat of the antropogenic effects, such as stubble fire, over use of pesticides in agriculture and over grazing. This species should be considered with an Endangered (B2ab(i, iii)) status on the basis of the extent of occurrence criteries of IUCN., Published as part of Sevgili, Hasan, ��irin, Deniz, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard & Lemonnier-Darcemont, Mich��le, 2018, Review of the Poecilimon (Poecilimon) zonatus species group and description of new species from Turkey with data on bioacoustics and morphology (Orthoptera: Phaneropterinae), pp. 1-62 in Zootaxa 4417 (1) on pages 37-46, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4417.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1242339

Male: Fastigium slightly narrower than antennal scapus, slightly depressed and sulcate dorsally and slightly tapered frontward with rounded margin (Fig. 29D). Pronotal disc slighlty constricted at anterior part, posteriorly distinctly elevated in profile, metazona as wide as prozona dorsally, frontal and caudal margins of the disc straight (Fig. 5A���B); based on lateral keels on pronotum, the metazona appears to have slightly widened (Fig. 6A). Pronotum slightly concave dorsally; paranota with frontal margin perpendicular, ventral margin convex, caudal margin short roundly oblique (Fig. 7A). Tegmina with rounded margins, shorter than half length of pronotum, not extending the caudal margin of first abdominal tergum (Fig. 5A���C). Cu2 of left tegmen distinctly projecting at right margin. Hind margin of abdominal tergites not straight, clearly bending with distinct carina at middle, especially in first caudal margins of the tergum (Fig. 5A���B, 7B, D) (this abdominal protrusion can be better seen in profile). Epiproct shorter than half length of cercal disc?, obtusely narrowed caudally. Cerci widely arcuate, slighty swollen in distal half, acutely thinned at tip with three robust denticles (Figs. 8 C���D, 9A���C). Subgenital plate shorter than cerci, from the middle distinctly narrowed at distal part with deep incision at its caudal margin (Fig. 10B���C). Stridulatory file: The file of the new species is similar to that of P. tauricola, but can be easily distinguished from it by its unique morphology (Fig. 15A���B): it has a large step (= an abrupt change in elevation) near the middle (see also Fig. 51A). The details of the teeth are clearly different between two species (Fig. 16B). Additionaly, compared to P. tauricola, the file of male P. azizsancar has fewer teeth. Biaocustics: Male calling songs were recorded from three different sites in the evening/night. They consist of an irregularly repeated sequence of syllables (Fig. 33). Each syllable consists of two distinct impulse groups with more impulses in the first crescending part (Fig. 34). The syllables lasted about 36 ms (see for details Table 4���5). Female: Fastigium as in males, sometimes slightly narrower (Fig. 29C, E). Pronotal disc slightly constricted at mesozona, not widened at posterior part, frontal and caudal margins of the disc straight (Fig. 5D���E). In general, tegmina very short, extending slightly beyond caudal margin of the disc, fully overlapping dorsally; paranota with frontal margin perpendicular, ventral margin slightly convex, rising backward arc-shaped and roundly oblique (Fig. 6B). Especially first and second abdominal tergites with distinct carina at the middle of caudal margins. Cerci long and distinctly curved inward (Fig. 11B). Subgenital plate distinctly wider than long with slightly projected on arcuate caudal margin (Fig. 12I). Ovipositor, gonangulum and lamella as in Figs. 11D and 12I. Coloration: The coloration and patterning of the tergites as in Figs. 40���41. Remarks: The population which was previously diagnosed and published as P. tauricola from Artvin- Erzurum was studied in this study in large scale. However, according to the findings obtained, based on morphology and the male calling songs, this population has the distinct differences from P. tauricola. Probably, the reasons for the misidentification of this population as P. tauricola in previous studies have been the similarities of the shape of pronotum, male cerci and subgenital plate. But, the new species differs from the P. tauricola in the shape of pronotum, having a distinct tubercule on the hind margin of the first abdominal tergite, the morphology of male stridulatory file, the shape of male cerci and female subgenital plate. Although the calling song the males are partly similar between these species, the male song patterns of both P. azizsancar and P. tauricola differ clearly from the other species of the group. These two species P. azizsancar and P. tauricola form a monophyletic branch within the species group according to their morphological similarity (general apperance, cylindrical pronotum for both sexes, subgenital plate of male with acutely narrowed at caudal part, short and robust ovipositor) and a possibly derived type of bioacoustical signals. P. azizsancar differs from other species of the group by cylindrical pronotum, wider fastigum compared to antennal scapus, different shape of tegmina and stridulatory file with distally bending, the shape of subgenital plate and ovipositor, different shape of both male and female cerci, ratio of the length of ovipositor to the length both body and pronotum. Additionaly, the caudal margin of pronotum is more or less straight when compared to the hind margin of pronotum of other species excluding P. tauricola. ��zbek & Yıldırım (1994) reported that the bush-cricket made a gradation / mass propagation in Şenkaya Plateau in 1990 (Erzurum province, Turkey): they conducted a field survey in this district. The collected population was identified as P. tauricola in this paper. However, when we look at the general appearance of body of female and the shape of male subgenital plate, given in the paper, the shape of ovipositor and subgenital plate is clearly different from that of P. tauricola. These Figs. given by the authors are more similar to that of P. variicercis, because in P. tauricola the subgenital plate of males shows a marked acute construction at the caudal part and is typically labeled with a ���U��� shaped apex. ��nal (2010) examined the specimens collected from Uzundere (Erzurum) by ��zbek & Aslan (1996) as P. tricuspis and he identified them as P. tauricola. The male cerci of P. tricuspis are similar to both P. azizsancar and P. tauricola. P. tricuspis belongs to P. heroicus species-group and the members of the group are recognised by posteriorly broader pronotum, relatively large body, and hind femora with ventral spines (Heller et al. 2006). The ovipositor in P. tricuspis is much longer than in P. azizsancar (P. azizsancar: 7.8���8.86/ P. tricuspis: 13���14 mm) (see for details Bei-Bienko 1954). In females, the posterior margin of pronotum is more or less straight as compared to P. variicercis. The female cerci are thinner and longer than that of both P. variicercis and P. zonatus. The shape of the curved part of female cerci is also distinctly different from the two species mentioned above. This species has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List (2017���3). The distribution of P. azizsancar is restricted and its habitats are under the threat of the antropogenic effects, such as overgrazing and the use of pesticides in agriculture. This species should be considered as Endangered (B2ab(i)) on the basis of the extent of occurrence criteries of IUCN., Published as part of Sevgili, Hasan, ��irin, Deniz, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard & Lemonnier-Darcemont, Mich��le, 2018, Review of the Poecilimon (Poecilimon) zonatus species group and description of new species from Turkey with data on bioacoustics and morphology (Orthoptera: Phaneropterinae), pp. 1-62 in Zootaxa 4417 (1) on pages 16-23, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4417.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1242339, {"references":["Salman, S.

Remarks. This subspecies is known only from the type specimen which is similar to P. martinae martinae by the general appearance and the male cercus tapered apically. Interestingly, the distribution of this subspecies is isolated from that of the nominate subspecies and the dominant species in its type locality is P. inflatus. Heller (2004) considered P. inflatus and P. martinae as sister species and diagnosed three forms by differences in male cerci. However, male cerci are more similar in P. inflatus and P. martinae martinae while more different in P. martinae tlos. At present song data are not available and female is not known in P. martinae tlos in order to clarify the systematic uncertainties.

The new subspecies P. antalyaensis anemurium differs from the other two subspecies mainly by the following characters (compare H with F and G in Figures 2–13); male subgenital plate with a convex caudal margin (Figure 11H) (concave in other two forms); male cerci almost straight in basal 3/4 and incurved in 1/4 and elongated inwards directed part and tapered apex (with short and robust apex in other two); the higher number of stridulatory pegs (> 100(98) in P. antalyaensis anemurium; P. antalyaensis anemurium;> 4.9–5.6 in P. antalyaensis antalyaensis) and male calling song (see Figures 17–18). Etymology. Named according to the antic city “Anemurium” in the district of Anamur, a town belonging to Mersin Province of Turkey.

The new species P. isopterus is aberrant in the group by its short pronotum, the indistinct inflation of metazona and its almost truncate caudal margin (I in Figures 3, 4, 7, 8). However, it is clearly a member of the group based on the resemblance with P. inflatus, especially in the structure and coloration (black in apical half) of male cerci (Figure 9I) and by its song (Figure 15C,D). In addition it is similar to P. bilgeri by the less inflated and caudally truncate metazona of pronotum, but differs by the male cerci regularly incurved as a bow and black in the second half, the longer ovipositor and black abdominal terga in the first 1/2–2/3. It differs from P. inflatus by the metazona indistinctly inflated and caudally not produced, male cerci apically flattened and with 3–5 denticles and female subgenital plate narrowed apically (almost triangular in the new species while roughly quadrangular in P. inflatus). A striking distinction of the new species is the small male tegmina especially in relation to its body size, and the smaller size of male tegmina in comparison to female tegmina (male left tegmen— 2.1–2.7 mm, in female about 2.8 mm; 3.1–4 mm in other members of the group) (Figure 23). Male stridulatory file is also characteristic being shortest in the group (1–1.4 mm against over 1.4 to 2.5 mm in other members of the group) with finest distal teeth. Description (holotype, male). Fastigium of vertex Female. Similar to male. Pronotum very similar in shape to that of the male (I in Figures 7, 8). Subgenital plate twice wider than long and with a distinct incision (Figure 12I); ovipositor typical for the genus, roughly 5 times as long as its medial width (Figure 13I). Coloration. Occiput with two black spots; disc of pronotum brownish, bordered by light stripes and with blackish pattern along these light stripes; paranota greenish-brown, Abdominal terga black in the first 1/2–2/3 part and brown in remaining part. In female (from İbradı) paranota greenish, disc brown and bordered by light stripes and with irregular dark pattern internal and external to the light bands. Etymology. The new species characterises by the similar shape of male and female pronotum and especially by the similarity of male and female tegmina, female ones being frequently larger (Figure 23).

Poecilimon antalyaensis (Karabağ, 1975) comb. n. Parapoecilimon antalyaensis Karabağ (1975): 340. This species ranges along the western part of Mediterranean coast of Anatolia and exhibits a great diversity both in morphology and song in the area (Figure 1C). The populations in each of these geographic areas differ mainly by their songs, but also some morphological differences are observed. The partial geographically related differences in song and morphology allow us to put partial taxonomic borders between the “populations” and describe them as subspecies. As a result of these statements Poecilimon antalyaensis comprises three subspecies: (i) the nominate subspecies Poecilimon antalyaensis antalyaensis (Karabağ, 1975), (ii) the western population from the area from the west of Kemer to Demre as Poecilimon antalyaensis myrae subsp. n., and (iii) the eastern population from Anamur and Gazipaşa as Poecilimon antalyaensis anemurium subsp. n. Phenotypical differences among the forms are distinct and early genetic data (Çıplak et al.; unpublished data) indicate that they do not share haplotypes. On the other hand, maybe we sampled remote populations and the contact zones population not sampled yet may share haplotypes. Thus, we considered the new forms as subspecies. General characteristics of the three forms are similar and description by Karabağ (1975) can be applied to all. However, a supplement to description for undefined characters in Karabağ (1975) is provided below. Male. Fastigium of vertex about 1/3 of scapus. Pronotum as in the group, median sulcus located before the middle, cylindrical in prozona and inflated in metazona, caudal margin of the disc widely convex, medial carina absent or there is a light line, disk bordered with large light lines; paranotal margin almost straight along prozona and slightly S shaped along metazona (Figure 3F–H). Tegmina fully covered by pronotum (Figure 5F–H). Stridulatory teeth are conic at the proximal and at the distal part, and wide in the middle of the stridulatory file (Figure 6F–H). The number of stridulatory teeth varies between 70 and 140 (differs between subspecies). Cerci cylindrical, roundly curved in their distal 2/3 or 1/4 (differs between subspecies), and weakly or visibly tapered distalward from the base, with a robust or sometimes pointed apex and 2–4 small denticles on their external margin (Figure 9F–H); subgenital plate slightly longer than wide and oval in its distal half, distal margin is slightly convex (Figure 11F–H). Female. Similar to male in general. Pronotum less inflated in metazona and margins of paranota almost oblique (F–H in Figure 7–8). Subgenital plate twice as broad as long and with convex caudal margin; ovipositor relatively short and robust (Figure 12F–H). Coloration. General coloration yellowish or reddish brown with dark brown spots and patterns; the disc of pronotum reddish brown; tegmina dirty brown. Abdomen with a brown band dorsally along the middle of terga. Song. See acoustic part of the text. Remarks. There are previous records of Parapoecilimon antalyaensis from Antalya (Ünal 2001; Mol et al. 2016). In the light of the data presented here, we conclude that the record by Ünal (2001) refers to P. antalyaensis antalyaensis and that by Mol et al. (2016) to P. antalyaensis myrae., Published as part of Kaya, Sarp, Chobanov, Dragan, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard, Yahyaoğlu, Özgül, Uluar, Onur & Çiplak, Battal, 2018, Review of Poecilimon species with inflated pronotum: description of four new taxa within an acoustically diverse group, pp. 451-482 in Zootaxa 4462 (4) on page 470, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4462.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1441747, {"references":["Karabag, T.

Poecilimon antalyaensis myrae Chobanov & Heller subsp. n. (G in Figures 3–6 and 9–11, Figures 1C, 17C, 18, 21, 22) Material examined. Holotype, male. 1 M (collected as nymph), Antalya, south of Kemer 36.39273o N, 30.40127o E, 4.vi.2014 (CC). Diagnosis. Smaller body size seems to be the main distinctive character of P. antalyaensis myrae at a first glance. The number of stridulatory teeth P. a. antalyaensis and> 98 P. a. anemurium) and the shorter and robust male cerci with robust apex (relatively slender and with tapered apex in the other two) are main diagnostic characters of this subspecies (compare F, G and H in Figure 6). Male calling song of this species differs by temporal parameters from other two subspecies (see Figure 18). In addition P. antalyaensis myrae differs from P. antalyaensis anemurium (compare G with H in Figures 3–13) by the male subgenital plate with a concave caudal margin (convex in the other); the male cerci are shorter and incurved along their distal 3/4 (incurved in 1/ 4 in the other), their inwards directed part is shorter and their apices are robust (inward part is elongated and apex is tapered in the others; compare F, G and H in Figure 9). Etymology. Named according to the antic city “Myra” in the district of Demre, a town belonging to Antalya Province of Turkey.

This species is known from the island of Crete and the neigbouring islet Gavdos (Tilmans 2002). The record from the island of Naxos is probably based on a mislabelling (see Willemse & Heller 2001). It is most similar to P. martinae and P. inflatus as discussed in morphology and acoustic part. Its relatives in Anatolia exhibit a high diversity in a narrow area, thus, re-examination of specimens from Crete and other islands may allow us to discover a rich diversity here as observed in some other Orthoptera (Çıplak et al. 2010).

Acoustics of P. (P.) inflatus Group The song patterns of the species of P. inflatus group differ significantly and group specific characters are not obvious. However, the species can be separated into four groups (Figure 14). The amplitude modulations of P. inflatus and P. isopterus (song type A) as well as that of P. cretensis and P. martinae (song type B) are each quite similar, the subspecies of the P. antalyaensis show the same basic structure (song type C) and P. bilgeri (song type D) differs from all other members of the group. According to our observations the species are acoustically active at least from morning to the (late) evening. Amplitude modulation. The calling song of P. inflatus (song type A; Figure 15A, B) was described by Heller (2004). The recordings from many additional specimens and localities analysed here confirm these data. “ The male calling song consists of long syllable sequences of indefinite duration, lasting many seconds or minutes. Within the sequence, two types of isolated syllables change more or less regularly. One type is represented by longer, two-part syllables (l-syllables), the other by shorter, undivided syllables (s-syllables) ” (Figure 15A, B). Often long series of l-syllables are followed by a few s-syllables, then another series of l-syllables follows and so on. However, there are also recordings which are less regular. The intervals between the syllables range typically from 0.6–3 s. The basis for the different syllable structure can be found in the stridulatory movements (Figure 15A, B). “ The ssyllables (duration about 12–25 ms) are produced by a more or less continuous closing movement of the tegmina. In the l-syllables (duration about 30 ms) the amplitude of the movement is smaller. More important is, however, that the speed of the movement changes during closing. It becomes much slower after the first half, resulting in a short silent interval before the loud final part. Since the stridulatory file consists of regularly spaced teeth, the differences in movement speed must be based on neuromuscular activity “ (Heller 2004). Interestingly, when producing s-syllables the male shakes distinctly as a consequence of the abrupt movement. There are no obvious differences between P. isopterus and P. inflatus in the calling song. The male calling song of P. martinae (song type B) consists, similarly in P. inflatus, of long syllable sequences of indefinite duration (detailed description in Heller 2004). Within the sequence, also two types of sound elements change more or less regularly. One type is represented by longer, multi-part syllables or possibly syllable groups (see below P. cretensis; called l-syllables) and the other by shorter, two to three-part syllables (s-syllables). Rarely also undivided syllables are observed. As in P. inflatus, a long series of l- is followed by a few s-syllables. However, in contrast to P. inflatus, the l-syllables are produced quite rapidly at a syllable repetition rate of 6–8 Hz (at 25–26°C; Figure 16A). The intervals between the s-syllables are with 3 to 8 s larger than in P. inflatus. In the basic time pattern the calling song of P. cretensis is quite similar to that of P. martinae. In P. cretensis single syllables (Figure 16B) or single echemes, containing one macro- and typically two microsyllables, alternate with fast echeme sequences (Figure 14D, 16D). Within the microsyllables opening and closing hemisyllables are clearly visible, quite unusual for Poecilimon species. The alternation of the sound elements can be regular, but often long series of one element type (single echemes or series) can also be observed. The amplitude modulation of the male calling song of P. antalyaensis (song type C; Figure 14E–G) showed the same basic pattern in all three subspecies of P. anatalyaensis. One loud syllable is followed by one to six softer ones (Figure 14E–G). This unit is repeated at variable intervals, from a few to many seconds (see below). However, analysing the songs in detail, clear differences between the three forms can be recognised (Figures 17, 18). The duration of the first loud syllable was quite constant in P. a. antalyaensis, but varied by about a factor of 10 between this subspecies and P. a. myrae with P. a. anemurium situated in between (Figure 18). The variation in P. a. anemurium is not based on genetics; one animal with short syllables is offspring of that with long ones. Also effects of temperature are unlikely to have a strong effect; range 22.8–25°C for short and 21–22.5°C for long syllables. The interval between first and second syllable was quite variable in the species, ranging from 300 to 700 ms in P. a. antalyaensis, and it is similar in the other subspecies concluded from the limited data (Figure 18). Another difference between the subspecies may be found in the number of soft syllables. In P. a. anatalyensis 3.9 soft syllables per song unit (range 2.0–5.0; n= 14 males; n measurements see Methods) were observed, in P. a. anemurium 2.3 (range 1.5–3.5; n= 4 males) and in P. a. myrae always only one (n= 1 male). In two long laboratory recordings (42 min, 62 min) of P. a. anemurium it could be recognized that this animal produced spontaneously several times series (duration 1–2 min) of song units with short intervals (ca. 4 s) between while during the remaining time the intervals were mostly much larger (often> 1 min). In contrast to the other species of the group, P. bilgeri produces songs consisting mainly of only one syllable type, but these syllables have different amplitude and are combined to echemes (song type D; Figure 19). The core element of the echeme starts with 4–5 syllables increasing in amplitude, followed by an interval of about 60 ms, and is finished by a single syllable. This unit is often followed by soft syllables which are produced by irregular stridulatory movements. The last syllable of the short series has a duration of 8.6 ms, is presented with a syllable repetition rate of 47 Hz, and the central interval lasts 64 ms (n=10; 2 males; T>25°C). Duets and female latency times. In all species of the group (except P. isopterus; not tested) the females responded to the male song with own acoustical signals. However, for most species only limited data are available which allow only a preliminary description of this behaviour. In P. inflatus the single female recorded responded to s- and l-syllables. As found in other Poecilimon species (Heller & Helversen 1986), the response delay was very short, in the range of 25–30 ms at 24.5°C (Figure 20; Heller 2004). A careful analysis showed that the female produced mostly a single click-like sound about 483 ms (range 237–767 ms; n=10) before it responded to the male syllable. Its acoustical response consisted of a series of impulses, about 187 ms (range 113–289 ms; n=12) long. In P. martinae the two females recorded responded preferentially to s-syllables. They replied to isolated ssyllables as well as to the s-syllables at the beginning of the l-syllable series. In addition they also responded sometimes during an l-syllable series, but rarely. The response delay of 50–90 ms (Figure 20B; 62 ± 9 ms, n = 39; T = 25 °C) was short, but nearly a factor twice larger than in P. inflatus. The response was shorter than in P. inflatus (ca. 20–50 ms). The P. cretensis female was recorded responding to three different males. It answered after isolated syllables, after the first syllable of isolated echemes (Figure 20C) and sometimes also at the beginning of (or during) an echeme sequence (Figure 20D; latency 43.2 ms, response duration 30.4 ms; n=10; T=20°C). Mostly the first (1–2) impulses were quite loud, the others soft to very soft. Rarely spontaneous responses were observed without relation to the male song pattern. In P. a. antalyaensis the responses of two females were recorded. Both answered very regularly after the soft syllables in the male song (Figure 17D–F). In detail, however, the two specimens differed; latency of the female response 24.8 ms at T>22°C vs. 42.9 ms at T=19°C (n=10 each); duration of the female response 63 ms (consisting of two parts with large gap between, first part louder than second) at T>22°C vs. 14 ms (one part) at T=19°C (n=10 each). The response was produced mainly during the initial opening of the tegmina (and soft impulses during closing) (Figure 20E). Sometimes spontaneous responses were observed, but they occurred always at about that time the male produced its soft syllables. They were found before the male had started its series as well as after it (Figure 17E, F). The recorded P. bilgeri female responded to two males, but always only immediately after the single syllable that follows the long interval in the male song (Figures 19, 20F; latency 19.9 ms, response duration 32.4 ms; n=12). Spectral composition. The carrier frequencies of the male songs have their maximum in the high audio and low ultrasonic range (Figure 21). Comparing the species there is a clear negative correlation with body size; the smaller the species, the higher the peak frequency (Figure 22). Only Poecilimon inflatus does not fit the trend very well. Its peak frequency is unusually low, as already noted by Heller (2004) and now confirmed by additional recordings (Figure 21, spectra from three males from three different populations not studied in 2004; one P. i. inflatus, two P. i. lyciae). In 2004 five males were analysed up to at least 40 kHz (for an example see Figure 34 in Heller 2004). P. isopterus has an unusually short pronotum and legs so its peak frequency is unexpectedly high for its overall relatively large body size., Published as part of Kaya, Sarp, Chobanov, Dragan, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard, Yahyaoğlu, Özgül, Uluar, Onur & Çiplak, Battal, 2018, Review of Poecilimon species with inflated pronotum: description of four new taxa within an acoustically diverse group, pp. 451-482 in Zootaxa 4462 (4) on pages 455-458, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4462.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1441747, {"references":["Heller, K.

Heller (2004) reported that the records of P. inflatus by Yalım & Çıplak (2002) from Antalya, Termessos and that by Sevgili (2001) from Kemer refer to P. martinae martinae. The two male used by Yalım & Çıplak (2002) were re-examined and clearly identified as P. isopterus sp. n. described in this study. On the other hand, data obtained during this study indicate that P. isopterus sp. n. occurs in relatively high altitudes (> 500 m as in Termessos and İbradı) while other close relatives such as P. martinae and P. inflatus were recorded along a narrow band along the coast. Thus, we propose that P. martinae martinae occurs along a narrow band starting from Kemer and extending to Demre. In this case the following localities of P. martinae martinae given in Heller (2004) possibly is based on mislabelling: TURKEY: 2 FF (CH 1551-52), Antalya, Termessos, 36" 58' N, 30'' 30' E, 0 8.06.1985, leg.

Poecilimon (Poecilimon) inflatus Species Group stat. rev. The species group can be defined by the combination of two characters. The first is inflated metazona especially in males. In lateral view dorsal margin of pronotum is almost straight in prozona, starting raising after the mid sulcus up to 2/3 of metazona and later curve downward constituting a blister-like inflation (Figures 3, 4, 7, 8). The caudal margin of metazona is convex or produced backward. Due to elevation of the metazona the caudal margin of the paranota is oblique or slightly S-shaped constituting distinct shoulders. In parallel with extending of pronotum, male tegmina are fully or almost fully concealed by pronotum. The above described characters are typical for four species; P. inflatus, P. martinae, P. cretensis and Pa. antalyaensis. The inflation of pronotum is indistinct, caudal margin of metazona is almost truncate or indistinctly convex and tegmina are slightly visible in P. bilgeri and P. isopterus sp. n. However, the caudal margin of metazona is more or less down curved and shoulders are distinguishable in these two species as in other members of the group. The second character, unique to the group but not shared by all species, is the male cerci black in their apical one-third to half in most of the species (black only along denticles in P. bilgeri, P. antalyaensis antalyaensis and P. cretensis). Further, the male cerci are slightly curved and mostly with a few small denticles (Figure 9). Although P. bilgeri and P. isopterus sp. n. seem to be aberrant to others DNA data (Çıplak et al.; unpublished data) support monophyly of the group. Thus, both inflated metazona and male cerci black in apical half are the characters defining the P. inflatus group. Besides these two characters the fastigium less than one-third of scapus and the first tergum without a tubercle are further characters to distinguish the group from other members of Poecilimon. P. inflatus and P. cretensis are the members of the group based on indication by Ramme (1933). P. martinae is another member of the group as Heller (2004) suggested it sister species to P. inflatus. Heller (2004) proposed P. bilgeri Karabağ, 1953 as another possible member of the group. Karabağ (1975) defined the monotypic genus Parapoecilimon as intermediate between Isophya and Poecilimon. However, Parapoecilimon antalyaensis share typical synapomorphies with the members of P. inflatus group (see Heller 2004). Further, there is no other character to diagnose Parapoecilimon from Poecilimon. Phylogenetic trees based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences (Ullrich et al. 2010) also suggest Parapoecilimon as an internal branch within Poecilimon. In the light of these data we synonymise genus Parapoecilimon Karabağ 1975 syn. n. with Poecilimon Fischer, 1853 and use a new combination for Parapoecilimon antalyaensis Karabağ (1975) — Poecilimon antalyaensis (Karabağ, 1975) comb. n. Examination of new material belonging to Poecilimon antalyaensis revealed three forms diverging in morphology and song. With this decision we are defining two new subspecies in the species. A similar case is also observed for P. inflatus. The population of this species ranging from Kemer to Demre exhibits morphological differences from the remaining part and this distinctness is well supported by genetic data (Çıplak et al.; unpublished data). Thus, we split this species into two subspecies. Under the above given statements the Poecilimon (P.) inflatus species group consists of the following species and subspecies.

Poecilimon inflatus Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1891 Poecilimon inflatus Brunner von Wattenwyl (1891): 28. P. inflatus has a narrow range in the south-west corner of Anatolia and its range is geographically very heterogeneous. Some other lineages restricted to the same area, exhibit interesting patterns of diversity and the Demre district seems to be special (Veith et al. 2008; Boztepe et al. 2013; Kaya et al. 2015). This speciality is also observed for P. inflatus group and the extensive material showed that the Kemer-Demre population of P. inflatus differs morphologically from that in the remaining western part of the range. We decided to indicate this diversity to the taxonomy of species by defining the Demre population as a separate taxon. As reproductive isolation between these forms needs further testing we defined the latter population as a separate subspecies, P. inflatus lyciae subsp. n. Description of P. inflatus was supplemented by Heller (2004) and is also valid for the new subspecies except for the diagnostic characters. Karabağ (1958) reported this species from Bölüntü (Aydın Province of Turkey) on the basis of one male and one female. Although field studies by one of the authors (SK) has been done in this locality on the same date as reported no sample was found. This locality is far from the presently confirmed range of the species and needs confirmation. On the other hand it is difficult to assign it to any subspecies without examining the specimens., Published as part of Kaya, Sarp, Chobanov, Dragan, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard, Yahyaoğlu, Özgül, Uluar, Onur & Çiplak, Battal, 2018, Review of Poecilimon species with inflated pronotum: description of four new taxa within an acoustically diverse group, pp. 451-482 in Zootaxa 4462 (4) on page 459, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4462.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1441747, {"references":["Brunner von Wattenwyl, C.
