Remarks.
OMODEO
and
ROTA
(1989
,
1991
) recorded the occurrence of the western European species
Helodrilus oculatus
HOFFMEISTER
,
1845
in
Turkey
. Based on the clitellar and tubercular data
CSUZDI
et al.
(2006)
regarded these specimens as
H. patriarchalis
. The present record of
H. patriarchalis
in southern
Turkey
corroborates this view.
