I found it about 2 years ago.I am really sure that it isn't Reuteria marqueti or Malacocoris cholorizans!!
But I am not sure on ID.It looks like a bug from tribe Orthotylini.It could be Malacorisella but it doesn't exist in Turkey!!!

It is Reuteria jordanica Carapezza, 2002, a species I described from Jordan some years ago and was later found in Iran. If you collected some specimens, we could publish this new record for Turkey.

Unfortunately I didn't collect any specimens
But it is wonderful that I found a new species for Turkey .Even I found it in SW Turkey.So,does it mean that it spreaded some other parts of Anatolia?

It is really a pity that you didn't collect some specimens. A serious scientific identification can be based only on proper examinations under the microscope. Presently we cannot exclude that in SW Turkey there is another species of Reuterista, possibly new, looking like jordanica. Only studying the genitalia could give a definite answer. I hope that next year you'll be able to go back to the same locality in the same period and collect a long series of specimens. Only at the end of this process we could think of publishing the record.

Well,I hope I can go there next summer and find some specimens.

*It's also interesting that I found in the same location(A boutiqeu hotel's garden!) another newly recorded Heteroptera(Apodiphus integriceps)which had been recorded in Turkey in 2010.
