( Figs 132-141 , Map 7 ) Holotype 3: TR - Antalya , 12-, 1230 m , N Kalkan , Dumanlı Dağı , cedar-pine forest, pasture, 36°24'01E , 29°25'53E , 5.X.2002 , V . Assing / Holotypus 3 Oxypoda recta sp. n. det. V . Assing 2006 (cAss). Paratypes : 2133, 15♀♀ : same data as holotype (cAss, cFel, OÖLL ) ; 13: TR - Muğla , 1, N Fethiye , Çaliş , bank of stream, 10 m , 36°40N , 29°06E , 1.X.2002 , V . Assing (cAss) ; 13, 1♀ : TR [24] - Mersin , NW Tarsus , Çamlıyayla , 37°08'51N , 34°37'16E , 1190 m , 23./ 24.IV.2005 , Brachat & Meybohm (cAss) ; 13, 1♀ : TR - Mersin [31], Findikpinari , 1090 m , 36°54'46N , 34°22'55E , 1.

D e s c r i p t i o n: 3.7-4.6 mm ; external morphology as in O. fissa ( Figs 132-134 ). 3: sternite VIII distinctly oblong, its posterior margin strongly convex ( Fig. 135 ); median lobe of aedeagus very distinctive, in lateral view with long, straight, and acute ventral process and with characteristic internal structures ( Figs 137-138 ); apical lobe of paramere as in Fig. 139 . ♀ : sternite VIII oblong, its posterior margin convex ( Fig. 136 ); spermatheca with rather long duct ( Figs 140-141 ). E t y m o l o g y: The name (Lat., adj.: straight) refers to the shape of the ventral process of the aedeagus. C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: Fromthehighlysimilar O. fissa , this species is reliably distinguished only by the morphology of the median lobe of the aedeagus, especially the shape of the ventral process. Oxypoda antennata , whose aedeagus shows a faint resemblance to that of O. recta , is distinctly larger and has much longer antennae. D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d b i o n o m i c s: The known distribution ranges from Muğla in the West to Mersin in the east ( Map 7 ). In the locality where the holotype was found, altogether 37 specimens were sifted from the litter of a mixed cedar and pine forest. The altitudes range from 10 to 1230 m . Two specimens collected in April are teneral.
