Anisops debilis canariensis
Noualhier, 1893 (Notonectidae)
Asian
Turkey
.
Kıyak
et al.
(2006)
.
General distribution.
Canary Islands, Madeira,
Morocco
,
Cape Verde
Islands,
Ghana
(Polhemus 1995). The previous record from
Greece
(Corfu Island) by
Lindberg (1922b)
is considered a misidentification (
Lansbury 1964: 108
, Polhemus 1995).
Comment.
Kıyak
et al.
(2006)
published a record of
A. debilis canariensis
from Alanya province. Considering the nearest distribution of this subspecies in
Morocco
, this is most probably a case of misidentification. The record may refer to
A. sardea
or
A. debilis perplexus
, but in southern
Turkey
we cannot exclude the presence of additional species distributed in adjacent countries:
A. crinitus
Brooks, 1951
(
Greece
: Corfu,
Iraq
,
Iran
) and
A. varius
Fieber, 1851
(
Israel
,
Syria
) (
Polhemus 1995e
).
