The

İzmir
, ÖdemiŞ Bozdağ Mountain (

;
Ünal 2018
).

Remarks.
A. davisi
species was first described in
Karabağ (1952)
and since then, it has not been found in the same locality by any other researcher. However, two other species belonging to the genus have been recorded. Although there are some records of
A. schwarzi
and
A. burri
from the
type
locality of
A. davisi
in the literature (
Onder
et al.
1999
;
Tazegül & Önder 2012
), there is no record of
A. davisi
. In addition,
Ünal (2018)
stated that the specimens of
A. burri
(
33 males
,
24 females
) and
A. schwarzi
(
24 males
,
9 females
) collected by
Tazegül & Önder (2012)
from ÖdemiŞ were only
A. schwarzi
. In addition, no individuals of
A. davisi
were encountered in the field studies in ÖdemiŞ during this study (2021–2023). The male cercus character used in the description by Karabağ is an important distinctive character for the genus and it would be appropriate to continue the species status of the species until fresh materials are found and their songs are recorded and/or DNA-based up-to-date analyses are performed.
IUCN
status proposal
.
This species has not been assessed for the
IUCN
Red List (2023-1). There is also not enough data about
A. davisi
, and it is not possible to consider it on the basis of the extent of occurrence criteria of
IUCN
(DD =data deficient).
