Comment. The genus Hallodapus Fieber, 1858 is represented by two species in Turkey: H. suturalis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1839) and H. pseudoconcolor (Linnavuori, 1984). While the former is widely distributed in the West Palaearctic Region, the latter is only known from Iraq and the South East of Turkey (MATOCQ et al. 2014). Hallodapus concolor Reuter, 1890 is distributed in tropical Africa from Cameroon to Sudan and in Asia from Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan all the way to Kirghizia and in Europe only in Crete (Greece) (KERZHNER & JOSIFOV 1999). This species was observed to live on low grass vegetation in dry sandy areas (LINNAVUORI 1996). Hallodapus concolor (Figs 8A, B) is most similar to H. pseudoconcolor but differs from it in the shape of the left paramere and theca (see LINNAVUORI 1984).

Distribution in Turkey. İzmir (this work).
