Remarks.
In the original description (
Uvarov, 1949
) and in
Karabağ (1961)
the date and altitude of type material were given as “
17.7.1947
,
1700 m
” respectively. But they, in the original labels of holo-and
paratypes
, are different as given above.
One female
from “
Antalya
, Gebiz, Bozburun Dag” in the NHM London, identified as this species by
Karabağ (1961)
and
Salman (1983)
, belongs to another species,
E. anatolica
.
The shapes of male cerci, titillators, last tergite, female subgenital plate are very similar in the different generations from the same place, Tahtalı dağ (
type
locality) and in a different population, Arifköy. The variation limits are not very wide in the material examined.
The photograph of the female subgenital plate (
paratype
) of
E. tahtalica
is given in the Figure 15. Its apical part is seen from the postero-ventral view. If its electronic copy is enlarged it can be seen that inner margins of lateral lobes were cutten and seen straighter. It is actually more rounded as in Figure 18.
