Euryommatus berytensis Euryommatus mariae records faunistics morphology species recognition

Abstract

After first records of a second species of the genus Euryommatus Roger, 1856 from Turkey, E. berytensis (Marseul, 1868), further specimens could be assigned to that species. Euryommatus berytensis and E. mariae are compared, and their occurrences are briefly presented. Further details and considerations on the association of E. berytensis with the tree Liquidambar orientalis Mill., 1768 (Hamamelidaceae) are given.
