Baris, for me maybe A. transversa, check it!  Claudio

It is a female. A reliable identification of Aplidia is mostly based on male genitalia. Males can be recognised for the mat appearance of the dorsal side (shining in females). |

I have 9 specimen(2 pair collected while mating).So I have at least 2 male specimen.If I extract genitalia can it be determinated? I will put the photo here tomorrow after I extract the aedeagus. |

I found the revsion of this genus in our library: viewtopic.php?f=225&t=3665 On page 5,figure 5 looks similar but not the same,A.turcica and also the specimen is from Istanbul.I couldn't find any exactly same looking paramere?What do you think?

Yes, it is possibly A. turcica, the shape of the pronotal margin would also fit this hypothesis. However this is just a putative identification. Paramera of the A. transversa group are similar each other, and A. turcica is not well characterised against A. transversa. Note that few years ago a new species with such paramera (A. chloes) has been described from Nysiros, then collected also in Kos and Lesbos. So, giving names based on few photos is not the best way to work with this group. |

So you say that we are between A.turcica and transversa? So the apex of the internal part of aedeagus looks different in these species.So I take the photo of this part. Now we are sure that it is not A.transversa because the apex of the internal part of aedeagus is totally different from A.transversa.It is still similar to A.turcica but still not identical.
