Remarks.
I saw this interesting species for the first time in 1998 at the home of Tevfik Karabağ (
1911–2003
) who showed me a new species and mentioned the differences excitedly although he was too old. Later those specimens were described by his two doctorands, Demirsoy and Salman by attendance of Sevgili in 2002 (Demirsoy
et al.
2002). It was surprising to me that I found it at high altitudes on Kato Mountain in
Şırnak
and
Hakkari
provinces. It is found in the high mountain steppe, among the
Astragalus
sp. and
Acantholimon
sp. together with many syntopic
Orthoptera
species.
