Subtribe
Cicindelina Latreille, 1802
The record of the following species are wrong or dubious, and have not been included in the number of carabid taxa counted in this list:
Cephalota
(
Taenidia
)
eiselti eiselti
(Mandl, 1967)
and
Cephalota
(
Taenidia
)
eiselti cankiriana
Korell & Kleinfeld, 1985
occurring in the north of central
Turkey
as endemics of the Anatolian plateau (
Cassola, 1999
;
Putchkov & Matalin, 2003
);
Homodela ismenia
(Gory, 1833)
including its subspecies, according to
Cassola (1999)
,
Cassola & Pearson (2000)
and Franzen (2003) are strongly restricted to
Turkey
and
Syria
(Partim);
Cephalota
(
Taenidia
)
circumdata hattusae
Franzen, 1996
and
Cephalota
(
Taenidia
)
circumdata cappadocica
Franzen, 1996
are distributed in central
Anatolia
(Franzen, 1996,
Cassola, 1999
);
Cicindela
(
Cicindela
)
monticola monticola
Ménétriés, 1832
occurs as presently known in the Caucasus area as well in northeastern part of
Turkey
(
Cassola, 1999
,
Matalin (1999)
;
Cylindera
(
Eugrapha
)
trisignata
(Dejean, 1822)
reaches its known easternmost range in
Turkey
and
Calomera concolor
(Dejean, 1822)
occurring in
Cyprus
,
Greece
,
Syria
and
Turkey
according to
Cassola (1999)
, Franzen (1999) and
Putchkov & Matalin (2003)
. The polymorphic group of
Cicindela
-
campestris
needs a deep revision. All of these species except
C. circumdata cappadocica
Franzen, 1996
have been reported from Khorasan and Esfahan Provinces by
Ghahari and Kesdek (2012a
,
b
).
Note
: We are currently not able to confirm or doubt the opinions to the subspecies account of Deuve’s papers (
2011-2012
) before a more thorough revision of this group.
