Description
Atractides (Atractides) lunipes Lundblad, 1956
Material examined.
Burdur • TR 20-2024, Karacaören, stream, 37.327335°N, 30.869408°E, 25 Apr. 2024, Pešić, Zawal, Gülle & Gülle, 1 ♀ (sequenced), dissected and slide mounted (RMNH).
Remarks.
Genetic data indicate that the examined specimen from Turkey forms a unique BIN (BOLD: AGG 3780). The single female from Burdur used in this study for molecular analysis is in good agreement with the redescription of Atractides lunipes given by Gerecke (2021) based on populations from Calabria and Sicily. In the phylogenetic tree, the specimen from Türkiye, morphologically assigned to A. lunipes, was placed as a sister to A. zagrosensis Pesic, Saboori & Asadi, 2016 and A. corsicus E. Angelier, 1954, the latter known only from Corsica and Sardinia and considered by Gerecke (2021) as an insular sister species of A. lunipes. Atractides zagrosensis was originally described by Pesic et al. (2004) as A. cf. lunipes Lundblad, 1956, based on specimens collected in Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari Province, Iran. Later, this taxon was raised to the status of a separate species (Pešić et al. 2016) and recently barcoded on basis of specimens collected in Iran and Turkey’s Aegean Region (Aydin province, see Pešić et al. 2023 a for details). From Atractides zagrosensis, A. lunipes differs in relatively shorter I-L- 5 (I-L- 5 / 6 L ratio 1.15–1.2), more slender setae S- 1 and S- 2 (L / W S- 1> 17.0, S- 2,> 7.0), and slenderer I-L- 6 (see Pešić et al. 2016 for details).
Distribution.
Western and Southwestern Europe, Türkiye.
