Notes on Four Species of Click Beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae) from Turkey Author Kabalak, Mahmut Author Sert, Osman text The Coleopterists Bulletin 2010 2010-06-30 64 2 160 162 http://dx.doi.org/10.1649/072.064.0214 journal article 10.1649/072.064.0214 1938-4394 10112496 Tolphorea turcica Platia and Gudenzi, 2000 ( Figs. 2 , 7 ) This species was described by Platia and Gudenzi (2000) based on a female. Male Description. The male can be separated from the female by the shorter and narrower body; antennae exceeding posterior angles of pronotum by about 0.5 articles; pronotum slightly longer than wide and lower elytral:pronotal length ratio. The median lobe is clearly longer than the parameres ( Fig. 5 ) and the apex is pointed; sides of parameres are sinuate, without distal teeth, and apices of parameres are slightly pointed; basal piece ‘U’ shaped. Length 3.86 mm , width 1.27 mm . In comparison to drawings of the aedeagi of Tolphorea bicolor Cate, Platia, and Schimmel, 2002 and Tolphorea volans Gurjeva, 1983 ( Cate et al . 2002 ) and a description of the aedeagus of Tolphorea pallida Platia, 2003 ( Platia 2004 ) , male specimens of T. turcica are distinctly differentiated by the absence of distal teeth on the parameres. Figs. 1–4. 1) Craspedostethus dilutus (habitus, male) (scale = 1 mm); 2) Tolphorea turcica . (habitus, male) (scale = 1 mm); 3) Anostirus purpureus (habitus, male) (scale = 2 mm); 4) Peripontius jagemanni (habitus, male) (scale = 1 mm). Figs. 5–6. Anostirus purpureus . 5) Male anal sternite; Locality Record. 1 male : Adıyaman : Gölbaşı Boruk mountain , ( 37°53′08″N 37°43′04″E ), 1,100 m , 02.V.2008 , leg. E. Yağmur. Also known from the holotype female: Adıyaman : Nemrut mountain , 1,700 m , 13–15.V.1997 , leg. G. Magnani (Platia and Gudenzi 2000) . World Distribution. Turkey ( Cate 2007 ; Mertlik and Platia 2008). 6) Female anal sternite. Scale = 1 mm . Notes. There are three species of Tolphorea Gurjeva, 1983 in Turkey (Mertlik and Platia 2008). Platia and Gudenzi (2000) described T. turcica from only a single female specimen.
