Description and diagnosis:
As mentioned for the previous new species, members of the genus are similar in general appearance. Thus, the generic description can be applied to all species for certain features of the head, thorax and abdomen (
Figures 4, 7, 10, 13, 16
,
19, 22, 25
,
27
,
28
,
31
;
Tables 1–5
). To avoid repetition, a detailed description is not presented here.
The new species
B. balikesirensis
sp. n.
well differs from the other two by typical male cercus (tooth is near to middle in the first while in the beginning of apical 1/
3 in
the second; compare
Figure 9
with 8 and 10). The male calling song consists of regular echemes including 10–26 (mean 18) syllables is another prominent diagnostic characteristic of
B. balikesirensis
sp. n.
(
Figure 28
), distinguishing it from
B. bursaensis
sp. n.
(
B. turkiyae
is unknown for the song). In addition to morphology, the new species that corresponds to PG
2 in
the phylogenetic tree (
Figure 2
) can be well distinguished from the other two by 71 unique mutations (
Figure 31
). The high net pairwise distances and
F
ST
values with other phylogroups also support its distinctness as a species (
Table 3
). This species seems to be restricted to the Kazdagları Mts in
Balıkesir Province
of
Turkey
(
Figure 1
).
Etymology:
The new species
Bolua balikesirensis
was recorded from Kazdağları Mts located in
Balıkesir Province
of
Turkey
.
