Key words: Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lepturinae, Cortodera, new taxa, new synonyms, new ranks, lectotype designations, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iraq. Abstract: A big Cortodera collection of Stanislav Kadlec (Narodni Museum, Prague) is revised together with several more big collections; 20 new taxa are described and illustrated: C. humeralis moreensis ssp. n. is described from Greece. The lectotypes of C. semilivida Pic, 1892a and C. obscurans Pic, 1894 are designated. The connection between C. semilivida and C. orientalis Adlbauer, 1988 is supposed. The area of C. pumila meltemae Ozdikmen, Mercan et Cihan, 2012 is widened to about whole Anatolia. C. wittmeri Holzschuh, 1995 is regarded to be distributed all over most part of Anatolia. C. w. wittmeri is recorded from 5 provinces: Nigde, Ifel, Antalya, Konya and Aksaray. Four new subspecies are described: C. w. akshehirensis ssp. n. (Konya), C. w. sivasensis ssp. n. (Sivas), C. w. malatyaensis ssp. n. (Malatya) and C. w. gevashensis ssp. n. (Van). C. alpina rosinae Pic, 1902 (originally described as C. xanthoptera var. rosinae Pic, 1902) is accepted for Akfehir (Konya). C. flavimana (Waltl, 1838) is composed of 12 subspecies: C. f. flavimana (from Serbia and Hungary to NW Anatolia: Bolu, Zonguldak), C. f. schurmanni Sama, 1997, stat. n. (Greece, Peloponnesus), C. f. zoiai Pesarini & Sabbadini, 2009, stat. n. (north of Izmir prov., Turkey), C. f. rufipes Kraatz, 1876 (Izmir env., Turkey), C. f. inonuensis ssp. n. (northern most area of Kutahya and western most area of Eski^ehir), C. f. angorensis ssp. n. (northern Ankara, Qankiri, Amasya), C. f. corallipes Pesarini & Sabbadini, 2009 (Trabzon, Erzurum, Gumu^hane, Artvin), C. f. karsensis ssp. n. (Kars, Ardagan), C. f. sergeyi ssp. n. (Tuncely), C. f. oezdikmeni ssp. n. (Kahramanmaras), C. f. torosensis ssp. n. (Ifel, Adana), C. f. sultanensis ssp. n. (Afyon and Konya: south and west sides of Ak^ehir Lake along Sultandag Ridge). C. neali Danilevsky, 2004 is recorded for Iraq. C. colchica aksarayensis Ozdikmen & Ozbek, 2012, stat. nov. is downgraded to subspecies rank; its area is widened to about whole south Anatolia (Aksaray, Konya, Antalya, Mu§ Malatya, Ifel, Sivas). Two new subspecies of C. colchica Reitter, 1890 from Turkey are described: C. c. erzurumensis ssp. n. (Erzurum), C. c. porsukensis ssp. n. (Eski^ehir). C. c. aestiva Sama & Rapuzzi, 1999, stat. n. is proposed. Two new species similar to C. colchica are described: C. kadleci sp. n. (Erzincan), C. napolovi sp. n. (Mu§, Buglan Gefidi). A female of C. discolor discolor Fairmaire, 1866 from near type locality is illustrated. Three new subspecies of C. discolor are described: C. d. ankarensis ssp. n. (Ankara), C. d. gumushanensis ssp. n. (Gumu^hane), C. d. bitlisiensis ssp. n. (Bitlis). C. alpina tatvanensis ssp. n. is described from Bitlis.

The current article is based on enormous Cortodera collection of Stanislav Kadlec containing many new taxa. A part of it was sent to me for study from Nârodni Museum, Prague. Several series were also received by me from Zoological Museum of Moscow University, as well as from collections of Sergey Murzin, Alexander Napolov and Hüseyin Özdikmen.

Cortodera humeralis moreensis ssp. n. Figs 1-3

Cortodera aspromontana, Sama, 2002: 21, part. (including southern Greece). Cortodera humeralis aspromontana, Sama & Löbl, 2010: 122, part. (including Greece).

Type locality: Greece, Arkhadia, Peloponnesus, Vourvoura env., 37°19"N, 22°29'E, 900m.

The new taxon was traditionally fused with C. h. aspromontana G. Müller, 1948; body relatively longer; male elytra longer than wide in about 2.6 times, while in Italian C. h. aspromontana male elytra longer than wide in about 2.4 times; pronotal pubescence in males of C. h. moreensis ssp. n. very short, often indistinct; in females - longer and distinct; elytra with bigger and sparser punctation than in C. h. aspromontana; all three main forms of C. humeralis (Schaller, 1783) are available: elytra yellow, yellow with black suture, or black with yellow humeral spots; legs black with more or less wide yellow femora bases and lightened anterior tibiae; anterior femora often yellow with black apices. The specimens from Northern Greece have narrower elytra, than in specimens from Peloponnesus, but pronotum with distinct

pubescence and elytra with denser punctation; body length in males: 9.4-10.7mm, width: 2.8-3.0mm; body length in females: 9.010.7mm, width: 2.7-3.2mm.

Type locality: Hatay prov. in south-east Turkey.

The syntypes of C. semilivida Pic, 1892a were regarded as unknown. According to G.Tavakilian (personal message, 2014) only two pin wholes are observed now at the bottom label "semilivida" in Pic's collection. The "type" (Fig. 4) of Cortodera semilivida var. diversipes Pic, 1898b (equiped with label "type" - Fig. 5) was just discovered by me in Plavilstshikov's collection - ZMM. Besides 5 specimens (Fig. 6: 3 males, 1 female and 1 specimen without abdomen) of "Cortodera semilivida var. diversipes Pic, 1898b" are preserved in Pic's collection in Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris. Not a single one has a label "type".

The original description of the species was based on two specimens ("8-9 mil"): a female was described first: "la coloration des pattes, chez la femmele que je possède, est entièrement noire",

then a male ("J'attribue à cette espèce une forme mâle"), wich had same characters (bicolored legs), that were observed now in the specimen from Plavilstshikov's collection. That "forme mâle" of the original description was later described as Cortodera semilivida var. diversipes Pic, 1898b (without indication of materials, but from same area as the typical semilivida, and so the name is unavailable). The publication (Sama & Lobl, 2010: 123) of the name "diversipes Pic" as a synonym of "Cortodera schurmanni Sama, 1997" from Greece was just a nonsense. I've declared that position as "lapsus calami", but the name C. diversipes Pic, 1898b was wrongly published by me (Danilevsky, 2010: 225) as a valid name (= schurmanni Sama, 1997).

Most probably a male from Plavilstshikov's collection was mentioned in the original description and could be designated here as a lectotype of Cortodera semilivida Pic, 1892a. Same specimen could be used as a "type" of C. semilivida var. diversipes Pic. A female from the type series with all legs black is unknown, but could be accepted as a paralectotype when available.

The species is similar to С. humeralis (Schaller, 1783) and according to the original description: "doit être au moins reconnue comme variété remarquable de cette espèce".

C. humeralis orientalis Adlbauer, 1988 (Figs 7-9) was also described from Amanus Mountains. The taxon was later accepted by Sama (2002) as a species: "C. orientalis", then the status of the name was downgraded by him to the subspecies level (Sama & Lobl, 2010: 123) and same year upgraded once more by me (Danilevsky, 2010). C. orientalis has just same color of body, legs and antennae as C. semilivida, but seems to be a different species because of much wider thorax (though similarly punctated), longer apical joints of maxillary palpi, sparser elytral punctation, especially near scutellum; besides C. orientalis seems to be usually much bigger. Still, better series from different localities of Amanus Mountains could show the synonymy of both names.

Sometimes specimens of C. pumila meltemae Ozdikmen, Mercan, and Cihan, 2012 are also very similar to C. semilivida. C. p. meltemae has just same size, that all known C. semilivida and just same shape of prothorax, but apical joints of palpi are usually distinctly shorter, glabrous line of pronotum indistinct or hardly

visible, lobes of 3rd tarsi joints shorter.

The final decision on the relations between C. semilivida, C. orientalis and C. p. meltemae needs better study of Cortodera specimens from Amanus Mountains.

According to the studied specimens the body length in males: 8.5-9.7 mm, in female: 9.7 mm.

Distribution. Hatay province in Turkey. The records for Syria need confirmation. According to Adlbauer (1988) C. orientalis is connected with Quercus.

Materials (6 specimens, 8.0-9.7mm).

Type locality: Ankara prov.: Kizilcahamam, Guvem.

The taxon was described on the base of 10 specimens from 4 localities. Kadlec collection [NMP] contains 48 specimens from many new localities. Big series in good condition allow to propose a new morphological diagnosis of C. p. meltemae.

Elytral suture in all specimens is really never darkened, as it was noted in the original description, but it is also the most usual condition in many populations of Caucasian C. pumila pumila. Antennae nearly always pale, but sometimes totally dark; elytra are always uniformly yellow-brown, darker or lighter, but never with darkened areas; suture is also always pale; shape of apical joints of maxillary palpi more or less elongated, or a little widened, triangular, often a little different inside one population; thoracic shape and pubescence also rather variable; thorax wider or longer, pronotal setae sometimes very dense and usually arranged in two rows; legs usually bicolored, very rare totally pale (one female from Bolu); the darkest available specimen (male from Bolu) has about totally black middle and hind legs (with only femora bases reddish), anterior legs pale with black tarsi and black apices of femora and tibiae; usually anterior legs totally pale, while middle and hind legs black with reddish basal part of all femora; often all legs reddish with black apices of hind femora; abdomen usually black, or with reddish posterior segments, especially in females; body length in males: 7.910.0mm; body length in females: 8.5-10.8mm. Materials. 7 males, 1 female, E Turkey, Sarikamis, 80 km NE Horasan, 4118N, 4229E, 25.6.1999, M.Rejzek leg. - NMP; 2 males, 1 female, TR, prov. Zonguldak, Safranbolu, 1000m, 4-5.6.1996, V.

Cortodera wittmeri Holzschuh, 1995 Figs 14-39; Map 1

Cortodera wittmeri Holzschuh, 1995: 9 - "Turkey, Uluki^la" (37°32'56"N,

34°29'5"E); Ozdikmen, 2014: 311 - "known only from the type locality".

Type locality: Turkey, Nigde prov., Uluki§la (37°32'56"N, 34°29'5"E).

The species seems to be connected with "colchica-group" because of long erect pronotal male pubescence and presence of several forms with red abdomen, legs and antennae. It is characterized by very stable elytral design: elytra can be totally black or totally light-brown without any peculiar design typical for C. colchica Reitter, 1890.

Head transverse, with strongly angulated temples diverging posteriorly; apical joints of maxillary palpi more or less triangular, often elongated; male antennae protruding beyond 0.6 of elytral length or reaching apical elytral forth, in females a little surpassing elytral middle or about as long as in males; 2nd antennal joint short, about as long as wide; 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5 th joints can be about equal in length or 5th joint is the longest, 1st and 4th about equal and 3rd distinctly shorter; antennae usually totally black, or with pale several basal joints, or totally pale-brown. Prothorax transverse, slightly widened near middle; in males about 1.2 times wider at base than long; in females - about 1.3 times; in males about 1.6 times wider posteriorly than anteriorly; in females - about 1.5 times; pronotal punctation small and regular, interspaces near middle are often bigger than dots; smooth central elongated area usually relatively wide and shining; pronotal pubescence pale in specimens with brown elytra, or black in specimens with black elytra, erect and long in

males or shorter and recumbent in females, with scattered erect setae; scutellum black, shining. Elytra light-brown or black both in males and in females; in males about 2 times longer than wide, gradually tapering posteriorly, in females - usually about 1.9.times longer than wide, less tapering posteriorly, often nearly parallelsided; but sometimes female elytra can be more elongated about 2.2 times longer than wide; elytral punctation small and regular, punctures near suture a little smalle than along elytral middle; elytral pubescence semierect, much shorter in females; several erect setae can be near scutellum in males; black elytra with black pubescence, pale elytra with pale pubescence. Legs usually totally black, or anterior tibiae more or less lightened, or anterior tibiae and femora partly reddish-brown, or anterior tibiae and femora totally reddish-brown, or all tibiae pale, anterior femora pale, other femora with pale bases, tarsi also can be partly pale. Abdomen totally black, or black with reddish hind segments or totally reddish-brown; abdominal pubescence mixed of scattered erect and recumbent pale setae; pygidium in males slightly concave, never deeply emarginated, postpygidium rounded; last abdominal tergite in females and last abdominal sternites in both sexes widely rounded; body length in males: 7.010.7mm, width: 2.3-3.6mm; body legth in females: 7.3-12.0mm, width: 2.6-3.9mm.

Distribution. Many populations are known in Anatolia from Ak§ehir province to Van, nothwards to Sivash and southwards to Antalya. Three of them will be described here as new subspecies.

Type locality: Turkey, Nigde prov., Uluki§la (37°32'56"N, 34°29'5"E).

The original description was based on a single male. Many newly studied series allow to propose several new characters.

Elytra brown (only one male from Antalya has black elytra, another male from the type locality with bright-yellow elytra); antennae, legs and abdomen are often totally black, but anterior

tibiae usually lightened; the holotype (Holzschuh, 1995) with reddish-brown abdomen ("ziemlich hell rotbraun") partly darkened anteriorly; one male from the type locality with totally red anterior legs (Fig. 14); one female from Antalya (Fig. 17) with brownish tibiae and lightened bases of all femora and only that one female has pale last three abdominal sternites; elytral bases in males with numerous erect setae; apical joints of maxillary palpi from very short, triangular to more or less elongated; body length in males: 7.010.7mm, width: 2.3-3.5mm; body legth in females: 7.3-12.0mm, width: 2.6-3.9mm.

Cortodera wittmeri akshehirensis ssp. n.

Figs 18-29; Map 1: 11

Type locality: Turkey, Konya, Yesilkoy (38°19'N, 31°36'E) environs, about 17km SE Ak§ehir.

The subspecies is characterised by large individual variability; about a half of available specimens with black elytra (males and females), other males and females with uniformly light-brown or yellowish elytra; 1 male and 3 females with black elytra have totally black legs and totally black abdomen; 4 females with yellow elytra also have all legs black and black abdomen; usually anterior tibiae yellowish while abdomen totally black (4 males and 5 females with yellow elytra); other males with black elytra have totally or partly red anterior legs and red abdominal apex; other females with black (or slightly brownish) elytra have totally or partly red abdomen and more or less red legs (anterior legs, basal parts of all femora, anterior tibiae or all tibiae); one male with yellow elytra with totally red anterior legs and red abdomen apex; other males with yellow elytra have totally or partly red abdomen and more or less red legs (anterior legs, basal parts of all femora, anterior tibiae or all tibiae); one female with yellow elytra has red anterior legs, red bases of middle and hind femora and black abdomen; 2 females with yellow elytra, totally red abdomen and totally reddish antennae have all legs red with black apices of middle and hind tibiae; males with yellow elytra also can have reddish antennae as well as females with black elytra; sometimes antennae strongly bicolored. Apical joints of maxillary palpi from short to slightly elongated, in males usually more triangular; elytral bases in males usually with a few erect setae, but sometimes without a single; shape of adeagus and parameres is a little variable and sometimes is very similar to published for the nominative subspecies in the original description; bdy length in males: 8.4-10.5mm, width: 2.7-3.6mm; body length in females: 7.510.5mm, width: 2.5-3.6mm.

Materials. Holotype, male with label: "TR (17km SE Ak§ehir), Yesilkoy env., 18.5.1998, S. Kadlec lgt." - NMP. 29 paratypes (11 males and 18 females) with same label - NMP. Distribution. Only one locality is definitely known in South

Anatolia: Konya, Yesilkoy (38°19'N, 31°36'E) environs - 17km SE Ak§ehir.

Remarks. C. xanthoptera var. rosinae Pic, 1902: 8 ("Anatolie: Ak-Chehir") was described from about same area as the new subspecies without any information on number of specimens in the type series, size or sex. A single female (Fig. 81: 9.0 mm) identified in Pic's collection as "var. rosinae" [so its new label "holotype" could be adequate] does not look close to C. wittmeri akshehirensis ssp. nov. The specimen has 7 labels (Fig. 82): 1) "Anatolien, Ak-Chehir, 1900, Korb.", 2) "201", 3) "sp ?", 4) "type", 5) "v. Rosinae Pic", 6) [red] HOLOTYPE, 7) Museum Paris, Coll. M. Pic. The body of the type is relatively longer than in females of C. w. akshehirensis ssp. nov., elytral punctation smaller, temples smaller and less angulated. I attribute to same taxon a series (3 specimes - ZMM) of old females (7.5-9.0mm) from "Konya" with yellow elytra identified by N.N. Plavilstshikov as "C. umbripennis ab. xanthoptera Pic": one was collected by "Korb" - same collector that was mentioned in the origimal description of "var. rosinae Pic". I preliminary leave the traditional position of the name inside C. alpina and regard the taxon as a local subspecies: C. alpina rosinae Pic, 1902.

Materials of "C. umbripennis ab. xanthoptera Pic" from Plavilstshikov's collection: 1 female with 2 labels: 1) upper side: "Anatolia, Konia", under-side: "Korb", 2) "C. umbripennis ab. xanthoptera Pic, N.Plavilstshikov det. VI.915" - ZMM; 1 female with 3 labels: 1) "Asia Minor, Konia, v.Bodemeyer", 2) Cortodera xanthoptera, det. E. Reitter, 3) "C. umbripennis ab. xanthoptera Pic, N.Plavilstshikov det. VI.915" - ZMM; 1 female, with 2 labels: 1) "Asia Minor, Konia, v.Bodemeyer", 2) Cortodera xanthoptera Ganglb., Boidylla - ZMM;

Cortodera flavimana, Danilevsky, 2012a: 703-704 (type locality - Istambul env.).

Type locality: Turkey, Istambul environs.

Cortodera flavimana (published as Leptura villosa var. flavimana) was described in the article devoted to Turkish Coleoptera, but a remark was in the original description: "Auch in Ungarn". The original description was most probably based on a single specimen, as only one size published. So, Hungary could be excluded from the type area of the taxon. All Turkish taxa mentioned in the article were collected near "Konstantinopel", so the type locality of Cortodera flavimana can be accepted (Danilevsky, 2012a) as Istambul environs (see a typical male of C. f. flavimana from European Turkey in www.cerambycidae.net - "Gallery").

The species consisted up to now of 5 subspecies:

C. f. flavimana Waltl, 1838 - NW Anatolia and Europe without

Peloponnesus (Map 2: 1-16).

C. f. schurmanni Sama, 1997, stat. n. - Greece, Peloponnesus (Map 2: 17-18).

C. f. rufipes Kraatz, 1876 - Turkey, Izmir env. (Map 2: 23-24). C. f. corallipes Pesarini & Sabbadini, 2009 - Turkey, Erzurum prov. (Map 2: 30-35).

C. f. zoiai Pesarini & Sabbadini, 2009, stat. n. - Turkey, north of Izmir prov. (Map 2: 22).

Cortodera flavimana var. fulvipes, Reitter, 1890e ["Kleinasien"] was introduced by Reitter as "v. fulvipes Kr." - so, most probably, it was wrong subsequent spelling of var. rufipes Kraatz, 1876b, and must be regarded as unavailable (Danilevsky, 2012a). The name by Reitter (1890) was not included by Ganglbauer (1897) in the number offlavimana variations.

All variations of Cortodera flavimana described by Ganglbauer (1897) were proposed for a single population ("Angora"): brachialis, flavipennis, limbata, variipes; so Ganglbauer expressly used infrasubspecific rank (Article 45.6.4 of ICZN) to each

one, and all his names are unavailable (Danilevsky, 2012a), though all were published as available by Sama & Löbl (2010: 122). "Cortodera flavimana ssp. brachialis Ganglbauer, 1897" was sometimes published as valid for Greece (Demelt, 1967; Althoff, Danilevsky, 1997) [If the name is published as valid before 1931, it becomes available - Art. 12.1].

All populations from Europe (without Peloponnesus) are here regarded as C. f. flavimana (Waltl, 1838).

C. flavimana rufipes Kraatz, 1876 (Map 2: 23-24) was described from "Smirna" on the base of all legs red, so the name is valid for a local subspecies. Such form seems to be unknown in Europe.

C. flavimana schurmanni Sama, 1997, stat. n. is a melanic Peloponnesus subspecies (Map 2: 17-18). The genital structures are inside species variations of C. flavimana.

C. flavimana zoiai Pesarini & Sabbadini, 2009, stat. nov. (north of Izmir vil., 4km NE Kozak, about 39°15'N, 27°06'E) described as a species with many specimens of all legs red is downgrated here to subspecies rank. The type locality (Map 2: 22) is situated just in between C. flavimana rufipes and nominative subspecies.

C. flavimana corallipes Pesarini & Sabbadini, 2009 (Map 2: 30-35) was also described on the base of all legs red (type - Ascale in Erzurum) includes (according to the paratype series) a lot of populations with rather variable color characters from very big area and definitely consists of many different subspecies not described yet. Several more populations from north-east Anatolia are identified here as C. f. corallipes Pesarini & Sabbadini, 2009. One is situated in about 35km north-eastwards type locality: 5 males, 8 females, Erzurum, Pasaki [40°13'N, 40°49'E], 27.5.-7.6.1916 - ZMM; another one is a little further (60km) in same direction: 16 males and 4 females, East Turkey, Ispir env., Yukariozbag vill., 1250-1780m, 40.4665N, 40.9602E, 24.V.-3.VI.2012, J.Hron, S.Murzin leg." - SM. The third is very close to the south Georgian border: 1 male and 3 females, East Turkey, Artvin, hotel Laset, 9 km E Savsat, 1600m, 41.2364N, 42.42987E, 27-28.V.2012, J.Hron, S.Murzin leg." - SM. It is only 20km southwards state border, so the population must penetrate to Georgia. One male and one female from the upper level

of Chorokh River (3-4.6.1916, A.Vinokurov - ZMM) could also belong to the population which penetrates to Georgia.

Body length of available specimens in males: 9.0-10,5 mm, in females: 8,8-11,0 mm.

Several my photos of aedeagus and parameres from different subspecies demonstrate rather different patterns, but it could be connected with individual variations and could not be used for the subspecies identification.

Cortodera flavimana flavimana (Waltl, 1838) Fig. 40; Map 2: 1-16

The taxon is close to C. f. corallipes Pesarini & Sabbadini, 2009 because of all legs red, though a big part C. f. corallipes specimens has middle and hind legs black, while only one female (Köroglu Daglari) of C. f. angorensis ssp. n. has middle and hind legs black. Two populations of the new subspecies from Ankara prov. were included in C. f. corallipes in the original description. C. f. angorensis ssp. n. differs from C. f. corallipes by red antennae, while all available C. f. corallipes have black antennae (or sometimes partly black with reddish basal joints); elytra in C. f. angorensis ssp. n. are yellow with black suture just as in all (17 males and 7 females from Erzurum and Artvin) available specimens of C. f. corallipes; pronotum and elytra in C. f. angorensis ssp. n. are usually covered with numerous long erect setae similar to C. f. corallipes (never in C.

f. flavimana); glabrous pronotal longitudinal line in C. f. angorensis ssp. n. relatively wide; abdominal apex red or black, while in all available specimens of C. f. corallipes abdominal apex black; body length in males: 7.9-9.2mm, width: 2.6-2.9mm; body length in females: 7.3-9.4mm, width: 2.5-3.1mm.

Both females are of just same color as paratype, but smaller, one is a little narrower, another - a little wider; body length in males: 9.5-12.2 mm; body length of a newly received male: 9.6 mm; body width in males: 2.9-3.5 mm; body length of the paratype female: 12.5 mm, width - 4.1 mm; body length of females fom Irag: 10.9-11.2mm, width (at humeri): 3.4-3.8 mm. Materials. 1 male, Iran, Kurdistan province, Sanandaj-Saral, 25.5.2010, H.Ghobari leg. - MD; 2 females, NE Iraq, Mishaw (about 35°47'55"N, 46°18'13"E), 1750m, 6-8.6.1976, J. Macek leg. - NMP.

M.L. Danilevsky Type locality: Hatay prov. in south-east Turkey.

Cortodera semilivida var. obscurans Pic, 1892b: cxi - ("le nord de la Syrie") was described from same area as Cortodera semilivida and so unavailable. The variation was later (Pic, 1893) published as a form of C. flavimana as: Cortodera rufimana [wrong spelling offlavimana Waltl] var. obscurans, Pic, 1893: 415 ("Haute-Syrie"). Then it was published (Pic, 1894) as a species name and so became available. Two more unavailable names were introduced by Pic for same area: Cortodera obscurans var. flavescens Pic, 1894: 116 - "Syrie, Akbès" and Cortodera obscurans var. fulvipennis Pic, 1898b: 50 - "Akbès".

The original description of Cortodera obscurans Pic, 1894 was published on the base of at least two syntypes: "Long. 9 â 10 mill". One syntype (male with label "type"; Figs 61-62) is preserved now in Plavilstshikov's collection - ZMM. It is designated here as a lectotype.

A female (Figs 63-64) of this species in Plavilstshikov's collection with 3 labels [1)"type", 2) Syrie, Amanus, C.D. 1891, 3) Cortodera obscurans var. flavipennis Pic] is most probably another syntype of C. obscurans Pic with wrong spelling of variation name (var. flavescens Pic, 1894). I don't know the publication of var. flavipennis Pic in that group. So, the female is designated here as paralectotype of C. obscurans Pic, 1894.

Another old male [ZMM] very similar to the lectotype was collected in 1895 and so can not be designated as paralectotype. Forth specimen of the species (male; Figs 65-66) in Plavilstshikov's collection was identified by E.Reitter as Cortodera obscurans ab. fulvipennis. No specimens of C. obscurans Pic are preserved in Pic's collection in Paris.

The species was regarded by Pic (1894) as very close to C. colchica: "très voisin de colchica Reitt.", but last joints of maxillary palpi and 2nd antennal joints more elongated, prothorax in males strongly widened basally; besides red anterior legs while other legs black are typical for C. flavimana, but impossible in C. colchica.

Body length in available males: 9.8-10.3mm, body length in available female: 10.0 mm.

Materials. Male, lectotype [present designation] of Cortodera

Cortodera discolor Fairmaire, 1866 Figs 74-77

Cortodera discolor Fairmaire, 1866: 277 - "Bosz-Dagh" (West Anatolia, mountains eastwards Izmir).

Type locality: West Turkey, Izmir prov., Boz-Dag.

The types are unknown, but traditional interpretation of the species allows to regard it as a vicariant close to the taxa known now as C. differens differens Pic, 1898a (= steineri Sama, 1997b) from Greece and C. differens magdae Danilevsky, 2012b from Bulgaria, Romania and European Turkey. All three taxa consist of rather robust, big specimens with black legs (anterior tibiae usually light), antennae and abdomen; elytra brown or black; pale elytra in eastern populations usually rather dark. Only two females [NMP] of the nominative subspecies available (Fig. 74: "W-Turkey, Manisa Dagi, 28-30.4.1994, D. Hauck leg."). Both females of C. d. discolor differs form the closest populations of C. differens magdae by: more elongated apical palpi joints; sparser, less regular pronotal punctation; wider pronotal glabrous line; bigger elytral punctation; lighter and longer elytral pubescence; body length: 10.3-11.0mm, width: 3.5-3.7mm.

Distribution. The nominative subspecies is definitely known from Izmir and Manisa environs, but could be distributed much wider. The species area seems to cover the most part of Anatolia eastwards to about Van Lake.

Cortodera discolor ankarensis ssp. n. Fig. 75

Cortodera discolor m. differens, Demelt, 1967: 107 - "Kizilchahamam, 28.5.64, vereinzelt auf Chrysanthemum".

Type locality: Turkey, north of Ankara prov., ^amlidere.

Only 9 females available; very similar to the nominative subspecies, but epical palpal joints much longer; pronotal punctation smaller and denser; pronotal glabrous line very narrow; elytral color just same as in C. differens magdae, but never black; all available

specimens with distinct black area near scutellum, which is absent in known to me specimens of the nominative subspecies or in C. differens differens, and is very rare in C. differens magdae; elytral pubescence relatively long similar to the nominative subspecies; elytral punctation also about same; antennae totally black; legs black with lightened anterior tarsi; abdomen totally black; body length: 9.0-11.5mm, width: 2.7-3.7mm.

Materials. Holotype, female with two labels: 1) Turkey, Anatolia bor., Çamlidere, 3.6.1986, S.Kadlec leg.; 2) Cortodera discolor Fairm., S.Kadlec det. - MD; 8 paratypes; 3 females with same labels - SM; 4 females with label: "NW Turkey, Akyarma Geç., NW Kizilcahamam, 1570m, 4035N, 3232E, 31.V.2001, lgt. S.Kadlec" -NMP; 1 female with label: "Yukari Çanli, K.hamam, Ankara, Türkiye, 14.06.1997, 1540m, Akçay. 18" - HO. Distribution. North of Ankara province.

Remark. In general C. d. ankarensis ssp. n. is closer to C. differens magdae Danilevsky, 2012b, than to C. d. discolor. Probably it would be more correct to regard all taxa of the group as a system of subspecies, including C. discolor differens Pic, 1898a and C. discolor magdae Danilevsky, 2012b.
