Remarks.
The unknown male of this species was recorded without any description by
Sevgili & Çıplak (2000: 231)
from
Şanlıurfa
(formerly
Urfa
) Province of
Turkey
. But in the revision of the genus
Scotodrymadusa
carried out by
Çıplak & Heller (2005: 321)
, the first paper was not cited and the male sex was shown as in “unknown” status although the same author has been placed in both papers. We still do not know the morphology and the taxonomic characters of the male sex of this distinct species. The female has a unique structure of subgenital plate for the genus. It would be very interesting to study the male which has had taxonomists wondering.
