Abstract: | The separation of Turanana taygetica (Rebel, 1902) stat. n. from Turanana endymion (Freyer, 1850) is effected on the basis of small, but constant differences in their male genitalia, the absence of genitalia intermediates, as well as on the basis of syntopism and synchronism of these two species-group taxa in south-central Asiatic Turkey. Turanana taygetica endymionoides ssp. n. is described on the basis of constant and rather pronounced external differences. A male neotype is designated for nominotypical endymion, as well as for nominotypical T. taygetica. A male lectotype is designated for T. endymion ahasveros (Bytinski-Salz & Brandt, 1937). |
