Morphological description
: see the references above; Bey-Bienko 1954; Can 1959a, b; Harz 1969; Peshev 1981 (as
I. rammei
); Ünal 2003; Chobanov 2009b.
Bioacoustics
: Chobanov 2009b.
Karyotype
: Warchałowska-Śliwa
et al.
2008 (as
I. rammei
).
The species is well characterised in the above-mentioned sources.
Distribution (
Fig. 191
) and phenology
: The main range of the species covers the middle mountain ranges of the Pontic region of Northwestern
Anatolia
(up to
1800 m
). The species was described from the region of Istanbul and is possibly distributed along the Black-Sea coast of European
Turkey
and Istranca Mts, though until present it was only found in two localities in
Bulgaria
(Strandzha Mts) at
300–350 m
alt., where it inhabits mesoxerophyte semi-ruderalized meadows and scrub surrounded by oak forests. Nymphs—III–V(–VI), imago—V–VII(–VIII in mountains).
