Dalaman-Mugla (Turkey), 23.VI.1962, and some specimens at 
Koycegiz-Mugla (Turkey), 21. VI. 1962. All these specimens were 
taken from Paliurus spina- christi Miller. These specimens are de- 
posited in the personal collection of the author and the Aegean Uni- 
versity, Faculty of Agriculture collection in Izmir (Turkey). 
In 1861 Fieber described Coeloglossa ledereri from 7 specimens 
(male and female) and cited its distribution as Turkey and Syria 
without any specific locality. Fieber’s description seems rather meagre, 
having some characteristics of Solenostethium bilunatum (Lef.) and 
some Solenostethium ledereri Fieb. These characteristics are based 
on the formation of clypeus, the colour of the dorsum of the insect 
and the existence of black spots on the head. Solenostethium ledereri 
Fieb. is now considered at the most as a colour form of Solenostethium 
bilunatum ( Lef. ) ( Stichel 1 960) . 
I have examined specimens from Dalaman which I collected at 
the same locality and discovered that while there are some different 
characteristics attributable to Solenostethium bilunatum (Lef.) and 
Solenostetium bilunatum f. ledereri Fieb., these different characteristics 
are not at all constant. Therefore, Solenostethium bilunatum f. led- 
ereri Fieb. is here considered as a straight synonym (new synonymy).

This species has only recently been included as a part of the Turkish 
fauna, although its geographic range includes Syria and Caucasia 
(Puton 1890, Oshanin 1912, Vidal 1949, Stichel i960 and Linnavuori 
i960). This distribution shows that it should also be found within 
the boundaries of Turkey. Wagner (1959) has recorded this species 
from Turkey for the first time. He reported if from Diyarbakir, which 
is in the south east of Turkey. The locality is some 200 km. from 
the northern border of Syria. The author is now able to establish 
the presence of this species on the Aegean sea coast in Western 
Anatolia. One male and 2 female specimens were collected from Karsi- 
yaka-Izmir (Turkey), 10. VIII. i960, from a mulberry tree (Morns 
alba L.). Thus the range of this species is spread over a considerable 
part of Turkey.
